is a color in the visible spectrum.

EM waves immediately outside the red end of the visible spectrum

Infrared is visible light with shorter wavelengths.

Infrared is a form of chemical energy.

Infrared is a type of sound wave.

the spreading out of light waves in all directions

Scattering in light is the absorption of light by materials.

Scattering in light refers to the reflection of light off surfaces.

Scattering in light is the process of light traveling in a straight line without any interaction.

Reflection is the bouncing back of a wave when it hits a surface that it does not go through

Reflection is the absorption of light by a surface.

Reflection is the distortion of waves as they pass through a medium.

Reflection is the creation of sound waves in a vacuum.

Refraction is the the bending of a wave as it passes between two substances causing the wave to change speed

Refraction is the reflection of light off a surface.

Refraction is the absorption of light by a medium.

Refraction is the scattering of light in all directions.

what is absorption in light

Absorption is the transfer of light energy to an object

Absorption in light is the reflection of light by surfaces.

Absorption in light is the scattering of light in different directions.

Absorption in light is the process of light being emitted by matter.

matter that transmits light but that does not transmit an image

matter that allows light to pass through with little interference

A type of glass that reflects images clearly.

A material that blocks all light completely.

matter that allows light to pass through with little interference

A substance that absorbs light and does not allow it to pass through.

matter that transmits light but that does not transmit an image

A material that reflects all light, preventing visibility.

A matter through which light cannot pass

A surface that reflects light without absorbing it.

A type of glass that is transparent.

A material that allows all light to pass through.

How are EM waves similar to ocean waves

EM waves and ocean waves are both transmit energy.

EM waves do not transfer energy like ocean waves.

Ocean waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation.

EM waves can only travel through water.

How do objects appear to have color

Because the em spectrum waves interact with it's particles

Objects have color because of their shape.

Color is determined by the size of the object.

Objects appear colorful due to their temperature.
