Term
Compression waves
Definition
Goes through solids, liquids and gasses
Term
Shear or Transverse waves
Definition
Goes only through solids
Term
Low Pitch
Definition
Long Wavelength
Term
High pitch
Definition
Short wavelength
Term
loud
Definition
Large amplitude
Term
soft
Definition
small amplitude
Term
speed equals
Definition
frequency times wavelength
Term
Standing waves
Definition
Nodes and anti nodes
Term
Dopplar Shift
Definition
Bunching up of waves when a sound source moves towards you. Higher frequency and shorter wave lengths
Term
Frequency and wavelength comparison
Definition
frequency goes up then wave length must go down
Term
Constructive interference
Definition
troughs add to troughs and crests add to crests
Term
destructive interference
Definition
crest and troughs over lap and cancel out
Term
Photo electric effect
Definition
High frequency (high energy) light discharges electrons.
All this shows that light has particle characteristics
Term
Energy of photons is equal to
Definition
h(plancks constant)times frequency
Term
Photons
Definition
No mass or charge
Term
wave particle duality
Definition
Light is neither a wave nor a particle. Light is light and has both characteristics. Absorbed like a particle and moves like a wave.
Term
compression
Definition
forces pushing on an object from the top and the bottom or sides
Term
tension
Definition
forces pulling away from an object from either sides
Term
shear
Definition
forces pushing on an object making it rotate
Term
Plasma
Definition
gas with charged particles
Term
Density is equal to
Definition
mass divided by volume
Term
Continuous spectra
Definition
a rain bow or spectrum that contains all the colors
Term
Discrete or emission line spectra
Definition
if only protions of the spectra are present
Term
Absorption line
Definition
If a continuous spectrum is mission some portions of light
Term
conductors
Definition
transmit electrical charge
Term
Semi conductors
Definition
man made that conduct under special circumstances i.e. transistors and diodes
Term
ionic Conductors
Definition
conduct when they are liquid or dissolved in a liquid but not a solids. I.E. salt into water
Term
molecules at the same temp
Definition
have the same average kinetic energy
Term
Kinetic energy is equal to
Definition
1 half mass times speed squared
Term
Heisenbergs uncertainty principle
Definition
the more you know about where a particle is, the less you know about where it is going
Term
Exclusion principle
Definition
No 2 electrons can occupy the same orbital. must have different spins
Term
elements in columns 1A and 2A
Definition
S valence
Term
elements in columns 3A through 8A
Definition
P Valence
Term
1B through 8 B
Definition
D Valence
Term
Atomic #
Definition
# of proton
Term
Atomic mass-Protons and neutrons
Definition
number below element symbol
Term
Ionization Energy increases in this direction
Definition
left to right and from bottom to top
Term
atomic volume increases in this direction
Definition
Top to bottom and right to left
Term
order of orbitals in shells of quantum model
Definition
s,p,d,f
Term
Continuous model
Definition
Paper cut down will always be paper. Matter is made up of smaller and smaller pieces that are always identical in their properties.
Term
Molecular model
Definition
Brownian motion led to this model. Either motor in the pollen or there is a force coming from the outside. All things are made of pieces. Heat is motion. The average kinetic energy model. Nothing is motionless. Doesn’t account for charge.
Term
Gas discharge tube
Definition
charging each end with different charges. Positive one side and negative on the other. Gas in the tube was neutral. Shows that neutral charge is a balanced charge.
Term
Plum Pudding model
Definition
Positive pudding with little bits of negative charge in them. Majority of mass in the charge is in the positive. Helps us under stand charge.
Term
Quantum leap
Definition
the jump from one energy level to the next.
Term
Bohrs model
Definition
Specific energy levels that the electron can go to. Like the solar system model
Term
What is light
Definition
Light is the communication of energy change between charge particles.
Term
Solar system model
Definition
Mostly empty space. Electrons repel from the table to your hand. If they could touch then it would be an atomic bomb.
Term
Electron going down a level
Definition
- emission.
Term
Electron going up a level is
Definition
absorption.
Term
brightness is affected by
Definition
amplitude
Term
amount of photons is
Definition
frequency
