What happened to the light waves from the straw when it changed mediums?

• The waves slowed down as they moved into the water/jello from the air, causing them to bend.

• The waves are bent due to the slowing down moving from air into the water/jello.

• Nothing happens to the light waves. It is an optical illusion.

Which color of paper absorbed the most light?

• black
• white
• purple
• green
• blue

True or False: You can strike one tuning fork to create sound on another tuning fork as long as the frequency is the same.

• True

• False
