electromagnetic and mechanical waves

what is reflection?

• when your able to see light and it is colorful

• the throwing back by a body or surface of light without absorbing it.

• when something has light and shines brightly

• when light continues through an object

what is refraction?

• light being deflected in passing obliquely through the interface between one medium and another.

• when light reflects off of light

• light being absorbed by light

• when light is not seen because of other lights (that are brighter)

When light is absorbed...

• the light is converted to gas

• the light is converted to liquid

• the light is converted to heat

• the light is converted to cold air

when light is reflected...

• the light wave can be absorbed or transmitted

• it makes energy

• it makes things move faster

• the energy from the electromagnetic spectrum is transmitted to help people

what happens when light is refracted?

• light bounces back

• refraction of light as it passes from less dense to more dense mediums.

• light is absorbed

• light gets trapped in magnetic force

when sound is reflected...

• it is affected by the shape of the object

• it is stopped

• the sound increases

• the sound decreases

when sound is refracted ....

• the sound wave bounces back as soon as it goes through the medium

• sound wave gets lost in matter

• sound wave loses all of its properties

• the sound wave passes through a mediums and bends to the normal

When sound is absorbed...

• An echo forms

• It is refelected

• It is transformed into heat

• Some of the sound energy is reflected back into the room and some penetrates the surface.

when sound is diffracted...

• it bends around an object

• it makes sound

• it creates light

• it gets hot

how are sound and light waves alike?

• both have properties of wavelength, freqency and amplitude

• both have the same name

• both have the same wavelength

• both have include scientific stuff
