27
Is a type of material that do not allow light to pass through at all.
opaque material
28
A _______ is formed when light rays hit an opaque object.
shadow
29
Is the bouncing back of the light from the surface it hits.
reflection
30
True or False: Objects that are usually smooth and have shiny surfaces are good reflectors of light.
True
31
Is the bending of light as it passes from one transparent substance into another.
refraction
32
This happens when the light gets converted to another form of energy. This occurs when light disappears as it passes through another medium.
absorption
33
Is the absence of color?
Black
34
Presence of all colors
White
35
True or False: Dark colored materials absorb more light energy than the light colored ones.
True
36
The best defense against excessive heat is ________.
prevention
37
_____ energy is produced by the vibration of objects.
Sound
38
The matter that transports the sound is called the _____.
medium
39
Is it true that sound cannot travel through a vacuum or an empty space?
Yes, it is true.
40
Characteristics of Sound.
Sound can be reflected. Sound can be refracted. Sound can be absorbed.
41
Is a reflection of sound, arriving at the listener some time after the direct sound. Sound waves bounce off the vertical surface, and are reflected back toward the source.
echo
42
True or False: Reflection of sounds can detect objects underwater like a submarine or a missing sunken ship.
true
43
Is the bending of waves when they enter a medium where their speed is different.?
Refraction
44
_____ takes place when a sound wave hits an object, part of the energy of the wave is transferred to the particles making up the object.
Absorption
45
True or False: High frequency sound waves are absorbed more rapidly than low frequency sounds.
True
46
Is the science that deals with the production, transmission, and effects of sound.
acoustics
47
The basic properties of sounds are _______?
pitch loudness tone
48
The number of vibrations a sound energy creates is called _________.
frequency
49
Determines the pitch of a sound?
frequency of sound
50
Describes how high or how low a sound produced is?
pitch
51
True or False: Sound with less vibrations has a lower pitch, while that with more vibrations has a higher pitch.
true
52
The height of the wave is referred to as the ___________.
amplitude
53
Determines the loudness or softness of a sound?
amplitude of a sound
54
True or False: Higher amplitude means a louder sound, and lower amplitude means a softer sound.
True.
55
Sets the amplitude of a wave?
vibration of a source.
56
True or False: The loudness of a sound is a also determined by the sensitivity of the ear.
True
57
Is a measurement of loudness that ranges from the threshold of hearing, 0 dB (silence), to the threshold of pain about 140 db.
decibel (db)
58
The normal average conversation sound is between?
60-65 dB.
59
When does a sound becomes a noise?
When one's ear could not tolerate the loudness.
60
Examples of common causes of noise nuisance _____.
dogs barking neighbors' loud music parties loud speech laughter
61
Is the measure of the quality of sound wave?
Tone
62
Uneven sound waves create?
noise
63
True or False: Sounds with regular pattern is music to our ears. The more irregular the vibrations, the more jogged or uneven the sound wave is.
True
64
What can you do to protect yourself and other people from too much noise?
Minimize the time you are exposed to loud sounds. Avoid visiting places with very loud sounds such as airports Wear ear protectors like ear muffs or ear plugs whenever exposed to loud sounds.
65
List ways on how to protect oneself from excessive light and heat.
Avoid staying under the direct heat of the sun. Stay indoors or stay in a shady area during very hot days Use an umbrella, visor, or cap to protect you from the heat and light of the sun. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from the glaring sun. Stay in a well-ventilated place to avoid fainting due to heat. Make sure that your house is properly ventilated. A quick shower or bath can keep your body temperature normal during very hot days. Drink plenty of water. Do not wait until you are thirsty before your drink. Avoid drinks containing caffeine, alcohol, or large amount of sugar. These drinks cause dehydration. Wear lightweight, light-colored, and loose clothing.
