Front

What happens to energy when wavelength increases?

Back

Energy decreases.

Front

What is the term for light bouncing off matter?

Back

Reflection.

Front

How many wavelengths separate two points A and B if the distance is 1.5 wavelengths?

Back

1.5 wavelengths.

Front

At which positions do overlapping waves have the most constructive interference?

Back

Positions #1 & #8.

Front

What happens to energy when wavelength decreases?

Back

Energy increases.

Front

Define wavelength.

Back

The distance between successive crests of a wave.

Front

What is constructive interference?

Back

When two waves overlap to produce a wave of greater amplitude.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

As wavelength increases, frequency decreases.

Front

What is absorption in the context of light?

Back

When light is taken in by matter and converted to other forms of energy.

Front

What is transmission in the context of light?

Back

When light passes through a material without being absorbed.
