10 Science Flashcards
Is the push and pull of an object in a particular direction
Force
Is an object that is made of materials that create a magnetic field
Magnets
External force given of by a magnet and a area in which a magnet force can be felt
Magnet fields
External force given of by a magnet and a area in which a magnet force can be felt
Magnet fields
Is the property and interraction of magnets
Magnetism
2 types of magnets
Natural and artificial
Stone which possess the property to attract other stones are called load stone
Natural magnets
Do not need matter to transfer energry
Electromagnetic waves
Are made by vibrating electric charges and can travel through space by transfering enery between vibrating electric and magnetic fields
Electromagnetic waves
How does moving charges create magnetic fields
Any moving electric charges is surrounded by an electric field and magnetic field
Making of Electromagnetic waves
When an electric charge vibrate, the electric fields around it changes creating a changing magnetic fields
The magnetic and electric fields create each other again and again
An EM wave travels in all direction. The figure only shows a wave travelling in one direction.
Electric and magnetic fields vibrate at right angles to the direction the wave travels so it is a transverves wave
Properties of EM Waves
All matter contains charged particles that are always moving,. Therefore all objects emit EM waves
The wavelenghts become shorter as the temperature of the material increases
EM waves carry radiant energy
What is the speed of EM waves
300000 km/sec in space or vacuum
(speed of light natures limit
EM waves usually travel slowest in solid and fastest in gases
Speed of EM wave
Vacuum=?
300,000 km/sec
Speed of EM waves
Air=??
<300,000km/sec
Speed of EM wave
Water=?
226,000km/sec
Speed of EM wave
Glass=?
200,000km/sec
Speed of EM wave
Diamond=?
124,000km/sec
What is the wavelenght and frequency of an EM wave?
Wavelenght = distance from crest to crests
Frequency=number of wavelength that pass a given point in 1 sec.
As frequency increase wavelenght becomes smaller
How does a radio receives different stations?
The modified carrier wave vibrates electrons in the stations antennae creating a radio wave that travels out in all directions at the speed of light to your radio antennae
The vibrating electrons produce a changing electric current which your radio seperates the carrier wave from the signal to make the speaker vibrate creating sound waves
What is an AM radio?
In Am amplitude changes but frequency does not. AM frequency range from 540,000 Hz to 1,6000,000 Hz usually listed in kHz
What is an FM radio
In FM radio station transmit broadcast information by changing the frequency of the carrier wave. The strength of FM waves is always the same and is in megahertz
Mega=million
Uses radio waves to send electronic signals in a carier waves
Sound is sent by FM; color and brightness is sent at the same time by AM signals
Television
Sound waves - microphone - electrical signals - radio waves - transmitted to and from microwave tower - receiver - electrical signal - speaker - sound wave
Telephones
