Study Notes
- Motion involves speed, velocity, and acceleration.
Speed
- Speed is a measure of how quickly an object is moving.
Velocity
- Velocity is a measure of how quickly an object is moving in a particular direction.
Acceleration
- Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time.
- Waves exhibit specific behaviors and properties.
Wave Behavior and Properties
- Wave behavior includes reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference.
- Wave properties include amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and speed.
Types of Waves
- Waves can be transverse or longitudinal.
Sound Waves
- Sound waves are longitudinal waves.
- Sound waves travel through a medium.
- Sound waves cause variations in pressure.
Light
- Light exhibits wave-particle duality.
- Light travels at a constant speed in a vacuum.
Color
- Color is a perception of different wavelengths of light.
Heat
- Heat is a form of energy transfer.
Temperature
- Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance.
