Reflection Connection Week 30

What is wave transmission?

• The bending of waves around obstacles

• The movement of waves through a medium

• The bouncing back of waves from a surface

• The absorption of waves by a material

Which of the following is a transparent material?

• Wood

• Frosted glass

• Clear glass

• Metal

How does an opaque material differ from a translucent material?

• Opaque materials allow some light to pass through, while translucent materials do not.

• Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through, while translucent materials allow some light to pass through.

• Both opaque and translucent materials allow all light to pass through.

• Opaque materials reflect all light, while translucent materials absorb all light.

Explain wave reflection.

• The process by which waves are absorbed by a material

• The process by which waves pass through a medium

• The process by which waves bounce back from a surface

• The process by which waves change direction when entering a new medium

Describe wave absorption.

• The process by which waves are reflected off a surface

• The process by which waves pass through a medium

• The process by which waves are absorbed and converted into other forms of energy

• The process by which waves change direction when entering a new medium

Which of the following materials is most likely to transmit light?

• Brick

• Clear plastic

• Aluminum foil

• Black paper

Identify a scenario where wave reflection is utilized.

• A mirror reflecting light

• A sponge absorbing water

• A window allowing light to pass through

• A prism bending light

Which of the following best describes a translucent material?

• It allows all light to pass through.

• It allows no light to pass through.

• It allows some light to pass through, scattering it in the process.

• It reflects all light.

How does wave absorption affect the energy of a wave?

• It increases the energy of the wave.

• It decreases the energy of the wave as it is converted into other forms.

• It has no effect on the energy of the wave.

• It doubles the energy of the wave.

Which of the following scenarios demonstrates wave transmission?

• Light passing through a glass window

• Sound echoing in a canyon

• Light reflecting off a mirror

• Sound being absorbed by a curtain
