Point B represents the __________ of this wave

• Amplitude

• Rest position

• Wavelength

• Frequency

A material that transmits most of the light that strikes it; Can see through it; Ex: window.

• Opaque

• Transparent

• Translucent

• Metallic

A material that scatters light that passes through it; Results in a blurry image; Ex: wax paper

• Opaque

• Transparent

• Translucent

• Magnetic

A material that absorbs or reflects all light; Can’t see through it; Ex: book. The color we see is determined by the wavelengths that reflect back to our eyes.

• Opaque

• Transparent

• Translucent

• Invisible

When parallel rays of light hit an uneven surface, the uneven surface causes the angles of incidence to be unequal. This results in a blurry image. This is called:

• Absorption

• Transmission

• Refraction

• Diffuse reflection
