5.1 Practice Test

Frequency:

• shows object is approaching or moving towards, shifts all lines toward the blue end of the visible spectrum
• distance between one point to a corresponding point on a wave
• the range of all types of light
• amount of waves passing through a point every second

Doppler Effect:

• shift in frequency of a wave as the source moves towards or away from the observer
• distance between one point to a corresponding point on a wave
• the range of all types of light
• the number of waves produced in a given amount of time, high or low

Parallax:

• an apparent shift in the position of an object when viewed from different locations
• shows object is receding or moving away, shifts all lines toward the red end of the visible spectrum
• radiation seen or recorded when the components making up light are separated in order of frequency
• distance between one point to a corresponding point on a wave
