Waves carries of energy Flashcards
(8 cards)
What is a wave
They are vibrations or oscillations that move energy from space to another
What is conduction
conduction is when fast-moving particles collide with other nearby particles, making them move faster. If you heat one end of a metal bar, the energy is transferred from the hot end to the cold end by atoms of that metal bumping into one another
What is convection
It is the transfer of heat through Particles
what are compersions
is it when the particles are closer when not disturbed by the waves
what are rarefactions
it is a region of air particles that are spread
what are sound waves
There are compresions and rarefractions.
what are compreson waves also know as
They are also knows as longitude waves
what is the wavelength of a compression wave
The wavelength of a compression wave is the distance between the centre of two adjacent compressions or two adjacent rarefactions.
