6th grade Logos- waves and electricity review

He theorized that light was made of tiny particles

the "rest" position before a disturbance occurs

the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles are closer together

a magnet formed by electric current running through a coiled wire around an iron bar

A circuit in which the parts are connected in a single loop

A shape of wave that moves perpendicular to the direction of the medium

a shape of a wave that moves parallel to the direction of the medium

The separation of positive and negative charges on an object

discovered the radioactive element uranium

He proved the theory of EM waves and wireless electricity; also discovered radio waves

means "at a 90 degree angle"

the lowest part of a transverse wave

A device that converts the energy in a stream of fluid into mechanical energy

empty space

distance from the equilibrium to the top of the crest or the bottom of the trough

After observing the photoelectric effect, he theorized that light was made of particle-waves called photons

discovered electromagnetic induction and invented the generator

A combination of transverse and longitudinal waves

discovered x-rays and took the first x-ray

A circuit that has many paths through which electric current can flow

discovered first connection between electricity and magnetism

A category of wave that can travel through a vacuum

the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles are spaced farther apart

He discovered cathode rays

A charged atom

He theorized that light was not a particle but an electromagnetic wave

the highest part of a transverse wave

a category of wave that requires a medium to travel through

the distance from crest to crest or trough to trough

a disturbance that carries energy from one location to another

matter that a wave is traveling through
