What happens when an object absorbs electromagnetic waves?

It causes it to become transparent

Why would a wave change direction?

Because it went from one medium to another

Because it went from a medium to empty space

Waves can be measured in many different ways. Even though waves have different parts to them they all must have the following

Need energy to start them and transfer energy with them

A frequency that is higher than resonance
