1
New cards
Speed of light
The speed of light is extremely fast; exact measurements reveal its finite speed.
2
New cards
Wavelength and frequency relationship
Shorter wavelength means higher frequency and more energy; longer wavelength means lower frequency and less energy.
3
New cards
Blue light vs Red light
Blue light has more energy than red light due to its shorter wavelength.
4
New cards
Ultraviolet light vs Infrared light
Ultraviolet light has more energy than infrared light.
5
New cards
White light
White light is a mixture of different colors, commonly represented as ROYGBIV.
6
New cards
Doppler effect
The change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer moving relative to the wave source.
7
New cards
Higher frequency
A sound source coming towards the observer will result in a higher frequency sound.
8
New cards
Temperature
Temperature is a measure of the average internal energy and average speed of particles in a system.
9
New cards
Kelvin scale
A temperature scale where 0 K is absolute zero, and it measures the internal energy based on atomic and molecular motion.
10
New cards
Water freezing point on Kelvin scale
Water freezes at 273.15 K.
11
New cards
Water boiling point on Kelvin scale
Water boils at 373.15 K.
