This type of wave movement happens when waves move through a medium unaffected

• absorption

• transmission

• reflection

Which type of interaction is this?

• reflection

• refraction

• diffraction

When the frequency of a wave increases, what happens to the wavelength?

• The wavelength is not directly affected by the frequency of a wave.
• The wavelength increases.
• The wavelength decreases.
• More specific information is needed to form a conclusion about the wavelength.

Waves can meet and form a smaller amplitude.  If this occurs, it is called

• Constructive
• Destructive
• Diffractive
• Refractive

According to the Law of reflection, a light ray striking a mirror

• continues moving through the mirror in the same direction
• moves into the mirror at a slightly different angle
• bounces off the mirror toward the direction it came from
• bounces off the mirror at the same angle it hits.

Why do we see objects as white?

• They absorb all light
• They reflect all light
• They absorb some light and reflect some light

When you place things into water they sometimes look bent (see the image below). What is this an example of?

• Refraction

• Diffraction

• Transmission

• Absorption

• X-Rays

• Visible Light

• Gamma Rays

• Microwaves
