Wave Behaviors

Front

What is the relationship between color and heat absorption in different seasons?

Back

Dark colors absorb more light waves, converting them into thermal energy, making them warmer in winter. Light colors reflect more light waves, keeping them cooler in summer.

Front

How does the speed of sound change when it travels from air to water?

Back

The speed of sound increases when it travels from air into water.

Front

What is diffraction in the context of wave behavior?

Back

Diffraction is the bending of waves as they pass through an opening or around a corner.

Front

Why does light appear to bend when passing through different mediums, such as air, glass, and water?

Back

Light waves change speed and direction when they pass through different mediums, causing them to bend.

Front

In which medium does sound travel the fastest?

Back

Sound travels fastest in solids.

Front

What is the principle of wave reflection?

Back

Wave reflection occurs when a wave bounces back after hitting a barrier.

Front

Define refraction in wave behavior.

Back

Refraction is the change in direction of a wave as it passes from one medium to another due to a change in speed.

Front

What is the effect of temperature on the speed of sound?

Back

The speed of sound increases with an increase in temperature.

Front

Explain the concept of wave interference.

Back

Wave interference occurs when two or more waves overlap, resulting in a new wave pattern.

Front

What is the difference between constructive and destructive interference?

Back

Constructive interference occurs when waves combine to make a larger amplitude, while destructive interference occurs when waves combine to reduce amplitude.
