TEST II - Read the list of words in the box, and choose the word that best answers each statement given below. All
answers must be written on the blanks provided before each number.

hertz timbre acceleration resonance grounding/earthing

wavelength dispersion reflection velocity distance

conductor prism electroscope refraction law of electric charge

decibel eclipse electrostatics heat intensity refraction

________________1. Refers to the separation of white light into its component colors.
________________2. The process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring
molecules.
________________3. An early scientific instrument that is used to detect the presence and magnitude of electric
charge on a body.
________________4. A safety measure used to help prevent people from accidentally coming in contact with
electrical hazards.
________________5. Is the energy which flows from one body to another due to a temperature difference between
them.
________________6. A branch of physics that deals with the phenomena and properties of stationary or slow-
moving electric charges.
________________7.  Is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light
________________8. A phenomenon in which a vibrating system or external force drives another system to
oscillate with greater amplitude at a specific preferential frequency.
________________9. The distance between peaks (high points) of a wave.
________________10. This is the separation of white light into its component colors.
________________11. The bouncing back of a wave as it hits a surface.
________________12. The bending of waves around the edge or corner of a barrier.
________________13. The combination of two or more electromagnetic waveforms to form a resultant wave in
which the displacement is either reinforced or canceled.
________________14. The bending of waves due to a change in speed as it passes from one medium to another
medium of different density.
________________15. A numerical description of how far apart objects are.
________________16.  An astronomical event that occurs when an astronomical object is temporarily obscured,
either by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer.
________________17. It states that, things that are negatively charged and things that are positively charged pull on
(attract) each other. This makes electrons and protons stick together to form atoms. Things that have the
same charge push each other away (they repel each other). 
________________18. The rate of change in the velocity of an object per unit time.
________________19. The bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different. 
________________20. The unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI) and is defined as one cycle
per second.
