What is frequency in the context of waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time, typically measured in Hertz (Hz).

Front

What happens to light when it bends?

Back

When light bends, it is undergoing refraction.

Front

What is an example of refraction?

Back

A fish bowl bending light waves and distorting an image of a cat's face is an example of refraction.

Front

What type of light can the human eye see?

Back

The human eye is capable of seeing visible light.

Front

Can light be described as both a wave and a particle?

Back

True, light can be described as both a wave and a particle.

Front

What is the definition of refraction?

Back

Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another, changing its speed.

Front

What is the speed of light in a vacuum?

Back

The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (km/s).

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa.

Front

What is amplitude in the context of waves?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum extent of a wave's oscillation, measured from its rest position.

Front

What is the electromagnetic spectrum?

Back

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, and more.
