Magnets and Wave Review

Front

What is reflection in terms of light?

Back

Reflection is when light bounces off an object.

Front

How are waves on the electromagnetic spectrum organized?

Back

Waves on the electromagnetic spectrum are organized by frequency and wavelength.

Front

What does transmission refer to in wave behavior?

Back

Transmission refers to the passing of light through an object.

Front

What type of magnetic poles attract each other?

Back

Opposite poles attract each other.

Front

What is absorption in terms of light?

Back

Absorption is when light stops at an object, creating a shadow.

Front

What is the electromagnetic spectrum?

Back

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, organized by frequency and wavelength.

Front

What happens during scattering of light?

Back

Scattering occurs when light is forced to deviate from a straight path due to interaction with particles.

Front

What is the difference between reflection and absorption?

Back

Reflection is when light bounces off an object, while absorption is when light is taken in by an object.

Front

What is the role of frequency in wave behavior?

Back

Frequency determines the energy and type of wave in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Front

What is a magnet?

Back

A magnet is an object that produces a magnetic field, attracting or repelling other magnets and magnetic materials.
