⩥ Voltmeter.
Answer: A device used to measure voltage in a parallel circuit
⩥ If you build a circuit, how would you determine the resistance of the
resistor?.
Answer: Measure the current and voltage then use Ohm's law
⩥ Series circuit, identical bulbs with identical resistance, voltage is.
Answer: Same
⩥ Series circuit, identical bulbs with identical resistance, current is.
Answer: The same
⩥ Series circuit, different bulbs with different resistance, voltage is.
Answer: Greater in the bulb with the greater resistance, brighter bulb
⩥ Series circuit, different bulbs with different resistance, current is.
,Answer: Same
⩥ parallel circuit, identical bulbs with identical resistance, voltage is.
Answer: Same
⩥ parallel circuit, identical bulbs with identical resistance, current is.
Answer: Same
⩥ parallel circuit, different bulbs with different resistance, voltage is.
Answer: Same
⩥ parallel circuit, different bulbs with different resistance, current is.
Answer: Greater in bulb with smaller resistance, brighter bulb
⩥ Faraday's Law.
Answer: The voltage induced is directly proportional to the rate at which
the flux chocantes with respect to time. Aka the induced voltage is
related to the speed of the conductor as it travels through the magnetic
field
⩥ A wave that has a relatively short wavelength also has a relatively.
Answer: Short period
,⩥ A wave that has a relatively long wavelength will also have a
relatively.
Answer: Low frequency
⩥ What is one property of a wave that determines how much it will
diffract when it encounters and obstacle?.
Answer: Wavelength
⩥ transverse and longitudinal waves both.
Answer: Transfer energy through a medium
⩥ In a ____ wave, the medium vibrates in a direction that is parallel to
the direction the wave travels..
Answer: Longitudinal
⩥ destructive interference of sound waves occurs when.
Answer: Two waves arrive at the same point out of phase with each
other
⩥ The Doppler Effect causes the.
Answer: Observed pitch of a sound to be lower if the source is moving
away from the onserver
, ⩥ The Dopler Effect occurs when a source of sound moves in what
direction?.
Answer: Towards or away from you
⩥ When a surfer rides an ocean wave on her surfboard, she is actually
riding on.
Answer: A crest that is toppling over
⩥ The musical sound produced by a brass instrument such as a trombone
is cause by.
Answer: Standing sound waves in the air inside the tube which are
exited by the player's vibrating lips
⩥ Sonar equipment sends sound waves into deep water and measures.
Answer: the time delay of the returning wave.
⩥ the beat frequency.
Answer: Absolute value of the difference in frequency of the two waves
⩥ For refraction to occur in a wave, the wave must.
Answer: enter a new medium at an angle
⩥ Reflection of sound waves produces the phenomenon known as.
