Electromagnetic Spectrum
Opaque
Correct answer; Things that prevent light from passing through it.
Transparent
Correct answer; Matter that allows light to pass through it
clearly.
Translucent
Correct answer; Objects that allow some light to pass through,
but scatter some of the light.
Refraction
Correct answer; The "bending" of a wave as it passes from one medium to another
Diffraction
Correct answer; The spreading out of a wave as it passes through an opening
Transmission
Correct answer; "Time passing" of a wave through a medium
Absorption
Correct answer; The "disappearance" of a wave into a medium
, Emitting
Correct answer; The "giving off" of a wave
Emmitting Example
Correct answer; Flashlight, lightbulb, speaker
Absorption Example
Correct answer; Black absorbs all colors
Transmission Example
Correct answer; Light passing through a window; sound passing through the air
Diffraction Example
Correct answer: Waves around an obstacle; music from a bandroom
Refraction Example
Correct answer: Straw in the water; rainbow
Reflection example
Correct answer: Mirror; water - reflection of trees; echo - sound bounces back
Interference
Correct answer: When two waves meet while traveling along the same medium
What are the two types of Interference?
