    louder
  • If a green filter was used to shine light on a red book, what color would it appear?
    black
  • What is this?
    prism
  • Why does copper sulfate appear to be blue?
    it reflects blue wavelength (and absorbs other colors)
  • When air particles are close together in a vibration, this is called a ___.
    compression
  • All sounds come from sources that ___.
    vibrate
  • The greater the wavelength of a wave, the LOWER the ____.
    pitch / frequency
  • Red light + green light = ?
    yellow light
  • Why does light travel slower in water comared to air?
    water is more dense / particles are more tightly packed
