| What is the First Law of Thermodynamics |
|
Definition
| Whenever heat flows into or out of a system, the gain or loss of thermal energy equals the amount of heat transferred |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
conduction-objects make contact
convection- circular motion of hot and cold in a fluid
radioaction- electro magnetic energy |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
| Heat energy= kg*specific heat*change in temperature |
|
|
Term

Term
| What is the major difference between a mechanical and electromagnetic wave? |
|
Definition
mechanical- requires medium to travel through
electromagnetic- can go through vacuums |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Example of electromagnetic wave |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Two types of mechanical waves and their differences |
|
Definition
Transverse- the wave moves perpendicular to the direction of the energy (spring)
Longitudinal- the wave moves parrallel with the direction of the energy |
|
|
Term
| What is rarefaction and compression |
|
Definition
| occurs in longitudinal waves, rarefaction is the rarity of a wave due to stretching and compression is the squeezing together of part of a wave |

|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Equation for period of a wave |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Why does the same pitch on different instruments not sound the same? |
|
Definition
| Every central pitch resonates background pitches in multiples of two, every instrument has different intensitys of these multiples |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the point where crests and troughs cancel each other out/ cross over on a wavelength |
|
|
Term
| Why do we see lightning before we hear thunder? |
|
Definition
| Velocity of light is significantly greater than the velocity of sound |
|
|
Term
| Two types of interference? |
|
Definition
constructive- crest to crest/trough to trough
destructive- crest to trough |
|
|
Term
| Why are tsunamis so small in deep water and then jack up in shallow water? |
|
Definition
| because in deep water the amplitude of the crest is tiny because the wave length is so long, but then the shallow water causes the wave to move upwards and increases the amplitude |
