  1. Sound, light, & color review answers CP Physics Ms. Morrison

  2. 1. Define the following sound vocabulary terms: • Pitch: a person’s impression of a sound’s frequency • Infrasonic: sounds below 20 Hz • Ultrasonic: sounds above 20,000 Hz • Compression: high pressure region of the sound wave, medium pushed together • Rarefaction: low pressure region of the sound wave, medium spreads out • Loudness: a person’s impression of sound intensity (proportional to wave’s amplitude)

  3. 1. Define the following sound vocabulary terms: pg 2 • Forced vibration: vibration of an object caused by contact with another vibrating object • Natural frequency: frequency at which minimum energy needed to make the material of the object vibrate and requires the least amount of energy to continue the vibrations • Resonance: when the forced vibration of an object matches its natural frequency and causes a dramatic increase in the amplitude • Beat: difference between the frequencies of two sounds heard together

  4. 2. What kind of wave is sound? • Longitudinal • mechanical

  5. 3. What must an object do to produce a sound? • It must vibrate

  6. 4. What is the range of frequencies humans can hear? • 20 – 20,000 Hz

  7. 5. What is the speed of sound at 0 oC? At 20 oC? • Speed of sound at 0 oC = 331 m/s • Speed of sound at 20 oC = 343 m/s

  8. 6. What happens to the speed of sound if the air temperature gets hotter? • It increases – this is because the particles move faster and faster and transfer the wave energy more quickly.

  15. 13. How does the interference of sound waves make sounds louder or softer? • Constructive interference – in phase – causes sound to become louder • Destructive interference – out of phase – causes sound to become softer

  16. 14. Why do you see an airplane before you hear its engines? • The speed of light is one million times faster than the speed of sound. • 343 m/s vs. 3 x 108 m/s

  17. 15. Define the following light and color vocabulary terms: • Transparent: material transmits light through it (can see through it) • Translucent: material scatters the light it transmits (can see light but not through it, frosted windows) • Opaque: material does not transmit light, cannot see through it or see light through it • Quantum theory: energy given off as bundles of light energy called photons, explains how light interacts with matter

  18. 15. Define the following light and color vocabulary terms: pg2 • Dual theory: light moves through space as a wave and interacts with matter as a particle • Luminous: object gives off light, ex.

  21. 17. List the seven types of electromagnetic radiation and describe them and their uses. pg 2 • X-rays: used to see teeth and bones for medical purposes, airport security • Gamma rays: used for radiation therapy, given off in nuclear explosions (shortest λ, highest frequency, most energy)

  24. 20. What is an example of an illuminated object? What is an example of a luminous object? • Illuminated: moon • Luminous: sun

  25. 21. Describe what is happening to the light rays when they: • reflect: light bounces of boundary of a new medium • Refract: light bends as it moves from one medium into another medium (air into water) • Diffract: light passing through small opening spreads out on other side • Interfere: passing through 2 slits interferes and produces light bands (constructive) and dark bands (destructive)

  26. 22. When does light behave like a particle? Give examples. • Photosynthesis • Absorb light to create electric current (solar calculators) • Absorb light energy then release as color of light

  27. 23. What is polarization of light? How can one determine if a material is polarized? • Light can only pass through in one direction – parallel to material’s polarizing axis • Use polarized filter and turn 90o to see if light is blocked out
