  • waves that are useful to seismologist in their study of the layers of the earth
  • waves that are useful to seismologist in their study of the layers of the earth
    Body waves
  • Body waves

    • Useful to seismologists in their study of the layers of the Earth
  • Using the triangulation method to locate the epicenter of the recent earthquake

    1. Obtain data from three different seismological stations
    2. Determine the difference in the arrival time of S and P waves recorded from each of the seismological stations
    3. Determine the distance of the epicenter from the station
    4. Use the triangulation method to locate the center
  • Transform fault boundaries

    Past each other without diverging or grinding
  • Transform boundaries

    Tend to be cooler than convergent boundaries that's why volcanoes rarely form along transform boundaries
  • Lens
    An optical instrument that is a curved piece of glass that is used to refract light
  • The size of the image formed by a concave lens and a convex mirror is reduced
  • Filament in an automobile headlight

    Radiates light that is reflected from a converging mirror at the principal focus where the filament should be placed for the reflected rays to form a parallel beam of light
  • Diffuse reflection

    Occurs when parallel light rays hit and bounce on a rough or bumpy surface
  • Clock with no numbers in front of a plane mirror
    The time indicated in its image is 9:30 when the real time is 2:30
  • The minimum size of the plane mirror that a 1.4 m tall man needs to see his full self is 0.7 m
  • An object is located 20 cm in front of a concave mirror whose radius of curvature is 20 cm. The image formed is real, inverted, and same size as the object
  • EM waves

    • All EM waves have the same speed
    • All EM waves travel at the speed of light
    • As the frequency of the wave increases, the energy of the wave also increases
    • As the wavelength decreases, the frequency of the wave increases
  • Infrared and Ultraviolet Ray
    Lie at the ends of the visible spectrum
    1. rays
    • Type of electromagnetic wave is used in diagnosis of bone fractures
    • Electromagnetic wave is not used in telecommunications
  • Microwave
    Type of electromagnetic wave is used in RADAR
  • Ultraviolet ray
    Type of electromagnetic wave used in checking bankbook signature
  • Specular reflection

    Happens when parallel light rays hit and bounce on a smooth surface
  • Camera is an optical instrument that works like a human eye
  • Specular reflection of light is why your face is clearly seen when looking at a pool of still water
  • Convex mirrors produce a wide-field view compared to plane mirrors, which is why some department stores and convenient stores place them in each corner above the ceiling
  • It will be easy for the drivers of the vehicles to read it in their side mirrors because the mirror reverses its image
  • Motor
    Converts electrical energy to mechanical energy
  • If the amount of food or resources available increases
    The carrying capacity for an animal will increase
  • Higher biodiversity, higher stability
  • According to Lamarck's Theory of use and disuse, the body structures develop because they are used extensively
  • Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cell that transport water from the lungs to the body cell does NOT describe the importance of proteins in the body
  • Receptor --- Sensory Neuron --- Brain --- Motor --- Effector is the correct body processes through the nervous system
  • In response to elevated body temperature
    Your blood vessels dilate, and you begin to sweat to indirectly maintain homeostasis
  • We sometimes tend to yawn when we see someone yawn because of Brain and spinal cord
  • Ovulation is positive feedback
  • Menstrual periods are irregular and can be late for up to 10 days more doesn't happen during ovulation
