Multiple Choice

A student placed a pencil in a cup of water. The pencil appears broken because light-

• always travels in a straight line

• bends when it passes through water

• makes the water in the glass evaporate

• reflects the pencil on the water's surface

Multiple Choice

Multiple Choice

When a wave bends or spreads past a medium, this is referred to as

• Reflection
• Refraction
• Radiation
• Diffraction

Multiple Choice

These waves are experiencing

• Reflection
• Refraction
• Diffraction
• Diffusion

Multiple Choice

When waves meet, and form either a larger or smaller amplitude

• Radiation
• Interference
• Diffraction
• Microwaves

Multiple Choice

The combination of two waves to form a larger amplitude is what type of interference?
