Resumo de Recurso

Questão Responda
frequency the number of waves passing a point each second
time period the length of time it takes one wave to pass a given point
wavelength the distance from a point on one wave to the same point on the next wave
amplitude the maximum distance of a point on the wave away from it's rest position
velocity the speed of a wave in the direction it is travelling
transverse a wave that oscillates at a right angle
longitudinal a wave that flows in one direction
a cycle one complete oscillation
reflected when a wave 'bounces' off something
refracted the wave passes into the new material but changes the direction it is travelling
transmitted the wave passes through the material and is not absorbed or reflected
ray diagrams a way of modelling what happens when light is reflected/refracted
normal a line drawn at right angles to the barrier
absorbed the wave disappears as the energy is carried into the material
law of reflection when waves are reflected the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
total internal reflection if the angle of incidence increases further the light is completely reflected inside the glass
electromagnetic wave caused by vibrating electrons and magnetic fields
