Wave Behavior Assessment

Front

What is wave behavior?

Back

Wave behavior refers to how waves interact with different materials and environments, including reflection, refraction, diffraction, and transmission.

Front

What is reflection in wave behavior?

Back

Reflection occurs when a wave bounces off a surface and changes direction, such as an echo.

Front

What is refraction in wave behavior?

Back

Refraction is the bending of waves as they pass from one medium to another, changing speed and direction.

Front

What is diffraction in wave behavior?

Back

Diffraction is the spreading of waves when they encounter an obstacle or pass through a narrow opening.

Front

What is transmission in wave behavior?

Back

Transmission is the passage of waves through a medium without being absorbed or reflected.

Front

How do light waves behave when they pass through jellyfish?

Back

Light waves strike the jellyfish and go all the way through it.

Front

Why do music studios use soft materials on walls?

Back

Soft materials prevent sound waves from bouncing back, reducing echoes and improving sound quality.

Front

Why is wearing dark colors in winter beneficial?

Back

Dark colors absorb more light waves, converting them to thermal energy, keeping you warmer.

Front

What is an example of reflection?

Back

An echo is an example of reflection, where sound waves bounce off surfaces.

Front

What happens to light waves when they hit a dark surface?

Back

Light waves strike the dark surface and stay in it, converting energy to thermal energy.
