All the colors of the rainbow
What does white light contain?
100
Vibrations
Sounds are created by

Refraction
This is responsible for causing rainbows to appear
200
Medium
Some waves have to travel through this
200
Amplitude
This is the term for the height of the wave
200
Radio waves

200
Increases
As temperature increases, speed of sound ________
200
Echo
When a sound wave reflects, we call it ________
300
Longitudinal/sound
This type of wave requires a medium to travel through.
300
Compression
This is a section of longitudinal wave where the particles are pushed together
300
Reflected
Yellow light is _______ when white light shines on a lemon.
300
Volume/loudness increases
As amplitude of a sound wave increases, what happens?
300
Baby screaming, trumpet, piccolo
Give an example of a high amplitude, high frequency sound wave

500
Wavelength and frequency
Electromagnetic waves are classified by these 2 properties
500
Gamma rays have high energy that can kill cells while radio waves are incredibly low energy waves
Why are gamma rays so dangerous and radio waves so harmless?
500
No, because there is no medium for particles to vibrate through
If something explodes in space, does it make a sound?
500
Refraction bends the light
