REVIEWER IN SCIENCE 7 (REGULAR)

SOUNDS
 is a form of energy that travels in longitudinal waves.
 ACOUSTICS- study of sound.
 EAR- are very sensitive sound detectors and considered part of the peripheral auditory system.
 PITCH- refers to how high or low sound is.
 LOUDNESS- a qualitative description of sound and is also a psychological sensation that may
vary to different people.
 AMPLITUDE – is a measure of sound energy. The greater the amplitude, the louder the
sound.
 FREQUENCY – number of vibration per second. The higher the frequency the higher the
pitch, the lower the frequency, the lower the pitch.
 INFRASONIC- range of frequencies below 20 Hz.
 ULTRASONIC- range of frequencies higher than 20000 Hz.
 SOUND travel fastest in solids, slowest in gases.
 MUSIC- is a pleasant sound that has an interesting beat and is produced by instruments as a
result of the manipulation of the frequency, intensity and timbre.

 STRING INSTRUMENTS- make music by

plucking or strumming the strings.

 WIND INSTRUMENTS- make music by blowing on the top of the instrument or on a reed.
  PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS- make music by striking, shaking or scraping them.

LIGHT- provides us with visual connection to the world.

 James Clerk Maxwell- he combined the concepts of light, electricity and magnetism.
 Max Planck- Dual- Nature of Light
 Christians Huygens- believe that light behaves like a wave
 Sir Isaac Newton- believe that light behaves like a particle

 RECTILINEAR- describe something that moves in or forms a straight line.

 DISPERSION- it separate white light into its component colors.
 ILLUMINATION- the amount of light falling on a unit area of a surface.
 UMBRA- dark inner part of the shadow
 PENUMBRA- lighter outer part of the shadow

 RED - has the longest wavelength

- has lowest frequency

 VIOLET- shortest wavelength

- highest frequency

 SUN- natural source of light

 REFRACTION- property that best explain the apparent bending of a pencil when it is dipped
into a glass of water.

 TRANSPARENT- object that lets all light pass through. Examples: clear plastic bottle,
eyeglasses, clear glass
  TRANSLUCENT- object that lets some light pass through. Examples: tissue paper, frosted
glass, fiber glass, sun glasses

 OPAQUE- object that lets no light pass through. Examples: door, cardboard, foil, cloth,
wood

HEAT- refers to the degree of hotness and coldness of a substance.

 CONDUCTORS- materials considered to easily transfer heat to another material. METALS are
best conductor of heat.
EXAMPLES:

 INSULATORS- materials do not allow charges to flow easily throughout the material.
EXAMPLES:

MODES OF HEAT TRANSFER

1. CONDUCTION- transfer of heat is achieve through vibration of particles of solid materials.
2. CONVECTION- process of heat transfer from one location to the next by the movements of
fluids.

3. RADIATION- energy from the sun being transferred to the Earth

ELECTRICITY- is the energy that makes all appliances run.
 ELECTRICAL CHARGES- these may be positively or negatively charged.

PROTON- positively charged particles

ELECTRON- negatively charged particles
NEUTRON- no charge

 ELECTROSTATIC LAW- states that LIKE charges repel and UNLIKE charges attract.

*If you comb your hair and the comb becomes positively charged, what will happen to your hair?
- IT WILL BECOME NEGATIVELY CHARGED

*What is the reason why cooking utensils are always fitted with plastic handles?
- PLASTICS ARE POOR THERMAL CONDUCTOR
