Waves act predictably when they encounter a new medium. These behaviors are called reflection, refraction, and diffraction
the bending of a wave as it hits a new medium. A wave travels at different speeds through different media. When waves hit the medium at an angle, one side of the wave slows down or speeds up causing the wave to bend

How do waves interact with other waves?
Vocal cord within the voice box (larynx) vibrate. Vocal cords relax when we breathe, but tense up and draw close together when we speak or sing. The air is pushed up from the lungs, the vocal cords vibrate, and a sound waves are produced.
Waves can add energy or take energy from each other when they meet. They can either be constructive or a destructive interference
Constructive interference: adding two waves together. The crests of one wave meet the crest of another. Their amplitudes are added together and make a larger wave.
Vibrations are required to start a wave. A vibrating object pushes and pulls on the medium around it and sounds out waves in all directions
Destructive interference: when waves cancel each other out. The crest of one wave meets the trough of another wave. The energy of a wave is subtracted from the energy of another wave, meaning the new wave is smaller than the original wave

Pitch is the highness and lowness of a sound and frequency determines the pitch.
High frequency waves with short wavelengths make high pitched sounds.
Low frequency waves with long wavelengths make low pitched sounds.
Objects vibrating very fast produce high-pitched sounds and objects vibrating
Sound travels faster through a medium of higher temperature and slower through medium of a lower temperature
The higher the temperature, the faster particles are moving around. Fast moving particles bump into other particles more quickly
Example: Sound waves move faster through warm air than cold air.
slower produce low pitched sounds.

The motion of the source of a sound can affect the pitch.

False
How are intensity and amplitude of a sound wave related?
Amplitude is the distance between a line through the middle of a wave and a crest or trough.
The more energy a sound wave carries, the more intense it is and louder it will sound.
Intensity of a sound- the amount of energy its sound wave has.
Decibel- a unit used to measure sound intensity.
Soft sounds like tree leaves rustling measures less than 10 decibels.
A jet taking off or other noises that damage your hearing measure more than 100 decibels
The greater the amplitude, the more intense a sound wave is.

The terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars
They are similar because they all are small and dense and all have rocky surfaces
It can affect the earth's magnetic field. Disturbing radios, telephone signals, or even cause electrical power problems
flares increase solar wind resulting in an increase in the number of particles reaching Earth’s upper atmosphere
We need Water, food sources, sunlight, oxygen, and other gases needed to survive, and a atmosphere to regulate temperature/protect humans from meteorites
What things are necessary for living things to survive? How has God created the earth so uniquely to fit our needs?
A solar wind is the result of corona thinning into streams of electrically charged particles. Solar flares increase solar wind resulting in an increase in the number of particles reaching Earth’s upper atmosphere
They are usually blocked by earth’s atmosphere and magnetic fields
The terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars
They are similar because they all are small and dense and all have rocky surfaces
We need Water, food sources, sunlight, oxygen, and other gases needed to survive, and a atmosphere to regulate temperature/protect humans from meteorites
God has created the earth so unique to fit our needs because we have everything we need to survive on this earth, nut no other planet is like earth and has everything we need
It can affect the earth's magnetic field. Disturbing radios, telephone signals, or even cause electrical power problems

What does a star’s color reveal? What colors are the hottest? Coldest?
Some colors will be missing which means that these wavelengths of light(elements) are in the star b/c it absorbed the color(wavelengths) so that it would not appear on the spectrum.
A spectrogram is a device that interprets light into colors and produces an image of the resulting spectrum. Scientists use these to know the chemical composition or what elements are in a star.
Apparent brightness is the brightness of a star as seen from earth and absolute brightness is the star's brightness at standard distance from the earth.
A star’s color reveals the surface temperature. The coldest stars are reddish(3200* celsius), yellow stars are 5500 celsius, and blue/white stars are the hottest at 20,000 celsius.

What is the difference between apparent brightness and absolute brightness?

What is a light-year?
The coldest stars are reddish(3200* celsius), yellow stars are 5500 celsius, and blue/white stars are the hottest at 20,000 celsius.
A star’s color reveals the surface temperature.
How far light travels in one year(9.5 trillion kilometers).
Apparent brightness

Describe how parallax works?
Parallax is when astronomers look at a star when it is on one side of the sun, then look at it 6 months later. By measuring how farther star appears to move, astronomers can calculate the distance to the star. This is because the less a star appears to move the further away it is.
True
False
Know the life cycle of a small/medium mass star and a high mass star?
How do we know how long a star will live?
large groups of older stars. These are round and densely packed stars, and some contain more than a million or more stars.
larger groupings of stars formed from the same nebula at the same time and are about the same distance from Earth.
A star system is when their is two or more stars grouped together.
Its mass. Smaller stars burn their fuel slower and larger stars burn their fuel faster.
What is a star system?
A star system is when their is two or more stars grouped together.
larger groupings of stars formed from the same nebula at the same time and are about the same distance from Earth.
have a loose, disorganized appearance and contain no more than a few thousand stars, these often contain many bright supergiants and much gas and dust.
Its mass. Smaller stars burn their fuel slower and larger stars burn their fuel faster.
Know the following terms.
Star cluster- larger groupings of stars formed from the same nebula at the same time and are about the same distance from Earth.
Open cluster- have a loose, disorganized appearance and contain no more than a few thousand stars, these often contain many bright supergiants and much gas and dust.
Globular cluster- large groups of older stars. These are round and densely packed stars, and some contain more than a million or more stars.
What is a galaxy? What are the main types?
A galaxy is a huge group of stars, star systems, star clusters, dust, and gas bound together by gravity. The main types of galaxies are spiral, irregular, elliptical, and quasar.
True
False
Describe what the milky way looks like
The further away a galaxy is from Earth the faster it moves away from Earth
The universe is created by God who is eternal, and the universe was spoken into being.
The Big Bang Theory (believed by most non-Christians)
God created it
The milky way is a spiral galaxy. From the side it looks like a narrow disk, from the top of the milky you can see it has a bar and a spiral (spiral galaxy)
What is the universe?
The universe is space and everything in it
The further away a galaxy is from Earth the faster it moves away from Earth
