SoundSound
Sound wave- longitudinal wave made by vibrating material, carried through the medium, transferring the Energy
Sound needs a medium, no sound in a vacuum/space
LAB: Tuning Forkp. 469
The Human EarOuter ear: funnel
Middle ear: hammer, anvil, stirrip (levers that increase the size of vibrations
Inner ear: vibrations to electrical signal to brain
Sound is:1. Collected (by outer ear)
2. Amplified (by middle ear: hammer, anvil, stirrup)
3. Converted to Electrical signals for the brain (by inner ear)
1.Sound waves vibrate the ear drum (lightly stretched membrane in middle ear)
2.Vibration of ear drum vibrates hammer-anvil-stirrup
3.Oval window vibrations create waves in liquid in cochlea
4.Movement of liquid causes tiny hair cells to bend
5.Bending of hair cells stimulates nerves, sends electrical signals to brain

Frequencies Heard by Different Animals
Doppler effectDoppler effect: apparent change in frequency of : apparent change in frequency of sound caused by motion of observer or source.sound caused by motion of observer or source.
Sound waves are moving forward/same direction of the train: Constructive interference makes it sound louder.

Noise makes sound waves, pushing air out, as plane moves forward, it meets up with the sound wave. If faster than the sound wave, plane leaves the sound wave behind, creating a sonic wave (BOOM)

Sound quality- the result of the blending of several pitches through interference
Noise- any sound; random mix of frequencies or pitches
MUSICFundamental: lowest resonant frequencyovertones: higher resonance (2X)second overtone: higher resonance (3X)third overtone: higher resonance (4X)

LightLight
1. Light is refracted through the cornea
2. Light passes through pupil (opening)
3. Iris controls size of pupil (colored part)
4. Light goes through lens, refracts light to focus an image on back of eye
5. Receptors in retina (back of eye) pick up light with rods & cones
6. Nerves attached to rods & cones send info to brain

LAB: EYE DIAGRAMDirections: 1.Label the parts of the Human EYE.
2. Put numbers to show the order in which the image reaches our brains.
All humans have a blind spot right near the middle of their pupil. To find it, hold your arm out in front of you, but off to the side, with your index finger extended. Cover one of your eyes, stare straight ahead with the other and slowly bring your extended finger closer to the middle of your field of vision. As your finger approaches you should see your fingertip disappear when it reaches the blind spot. Mind = blown.
Near sightednessNear sightedness person person can see something clearly if it can see something clearly if it is nearby; blurry vision of is nearby; blurry vision of things far away; eye is too things far away; eye is too longlong

KEY:
Electric field: surrounds a charged object N-S
Magnetic field: surrounds all magnets; attracts objects to it
Electromagnetic wave- vibration of electrically charged particle; makes electric field vibrate, making a vibrating magnetic field
Radiation: transfer of Energy as electromagnetic waves

Law of reflectionLaw of reflection incidence equals reflectionincidence equals reflection
Regular reflection light beams reflected at the same angle (shinier)
Diffuse reflection light beams reflect at different angles (duller)

Absorption: transfer of light waves to particles of matter
air particles absorb some of the light Energy… ray becomes dimmer farther out
Scattering: an interaction of light with matter that causes light to change its Energy, direction of motion, or both
RefractionRefraction: bending of light: bending of light
Lens:Lens: transparent object that refracts light to form transparent object that refracts light to form an imagean image

Transmission: passing of light through matter

COLOR: the color we see is determined by which wavelength is bounced back to our eye
Black- all colors are absorbed
White- all colors are reflected to you

Pigment: material that gives a substance color by absorbing some & reflecting others (chlorophyl, melanin, paint)

Reflection: when the wave bounces back towards the source
Refraction: waves are deflected when they go through a source & are usually bent
Diffraction: when a wave goes through a small hole and has a flared out geometric shadow of the slit or seems to bend around an object; makes shadow blurry
Diffraction:Diffraction:
Constructive interferenceConstructive interference wave crests & troughs wave crests & troughs line up, making it a stronger waveline up, making it a stronger wave
