Question | Answer |
Electromagnetic spectrum | Radio waves (longest/ lowest frequency) Microwaves Infrared Visible Ultraviolet X-Rays Gamma rays (shortest/ highest frequency) All are transversal |
Amplitude Wavelength Peak Trough | |
Incidence Ray Reflected Ray | |
Refraction of Light | |
Pitch and Amplitude | |
Diffraction | |
The Wave Equation | Wave speed (m/s) = Frequency (Hz) x Wavelength (m) |
Longitudinal waves | Vibrates forwards and backwards Compressions is where the waves move closer together and rerefractions is where the waves move further apart E.G. Sound |
Transversal Waves | Vibrates up and down E.G. Light |
The Doppler Effect | sound waves bunch together as they head towards you so they sound high pitched sound waves spread out after they go past you so they sound low pitched |
Sound waves | Vibrations of air particles Longitudinal Cannot be heard in a vacuum |
