Key Questions and Terms Notes
The way that light waves interact with different mediums is called the __.
When does reflection occur?
Light reflects off of the medium at a angle to which it initially struck the material. This means that if light hits a mirror at a 40-degree angle, it will bounce off at a _ degree angle. Draw a picture of what this looks like.
When does refraction occur?
When light can pass through an object, it is called .
When does absorption occur?
Describe how visible light interacts with these materials:
Mirror:
Glass of water:
Dark fabric:

What are some examples of matter waves?
What are some examples of electromagnetic waves?
How are electromagnetic waves different from matter waves?
Would outer space be an ideal spot for a concert? Why or why not?
waves need to interact with particles of either a solid, liquid, or gas to travel.
Light Waves and Sound Waves
Record your findings about sound and light waves for each of the following.
Traveling through air
Traveling through metal
Why light travels faster

Its interactions among light waves as well as different media were also called light products.
Even before sound rays hit a medium, the light rays bounce off.
Even at a similar angle with which the material initially struck its medium, sunlight reflecting.
When the light hits a mirror at such an angle of forty degrees, everything just rebonds at an angle of 40 degrees.
When light waves pass via a transparent medium, those who bend as well as change their direction.
Light is called transparent if it can pass via an object.
Whenever light waves strike a platform, this is neither re-elected nor refracted, nor expected to move.
The light of interacts with these materials are:

Reflection Mirror:

Water glass: refractive

Dark fabricate: Absorption

Sound waves and waves of water are examples of matter waves.
Light waves and X-rays are electromagnetic waves.
There is no need for sound radiation to pass through a medium/requirement to communicate with other particles to travel like waves of matter.
No, even though sound waves didn't reach through the space vacuum.
Matter waves should interact with solid, liquid, or gas particulates to travel.

The light waves pass thru the air more quickly than sound waves.

Sound waves almost always go through a metal frame.

Light waves travel faster than electrical signals even though they don't have to crash in electromagnetic waves to particles.
