Wave Patterns

Front

What is the definition of transparent matter?

Back

Transparent matter is a type of material that allows light to pass through without significant scattering.

Front

What happens to light when it reflects?

Back

Light reflects when it bounces off an obstacle.

Front

Where does the energy for photosynthesis come from?

Back

The energy for photosynthesis comes from stars, specifically the sunlight emitted by them.

Front

What is opaque matter?

Back

Opaque matter is a type of material that does not allow light to pass through; instead, it absorbs or reflects light.

Front

What occurs during the interference of light waves?

Back

Interference happens when light waves disturb each other, leading to patterns of constructive and destructive interference.

Front

What is the principle of refraction?

Back

Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another due to a change in its speed.

Front

Define the term 'wavelength' in the context of light waves.

Back

Wavelength is the distance between successive crests of a wave, which determines the color of light.

Front

What is the role of prisms in light behavior?

Back

Prisms refract light, separating it into its constituent colors due to different wavelengths.

Front

Explain the concept of absorption in relation to light.

Back

Absorption occurs when light is taken in by a material, converting the light energy into other forms of energy, such as heat.

Front

What is the difference between reflection and refraction?

Back

Reflection is the bouncing back of light from a surface, while refraction is the bending of light as it passes through different media.
