Wave Properties and Behavior

The video explains how waves transfer energy through absorption, reflection, and transmission. It covers how different mediums affect wave behavior, including light and sound waves. Absorption involves energy transfer to the medium, reflection involves bouncing off surfaces, and transmission involves passing through mediums. The video concludes with a summary and resources for further learning.

What is a wave primarily responsible for?

• Creating sound

• Transferring energy

• Producing light

• Generating heat

When visible light hits a medium, what happens to the colors we don't see?

• They are reflected

• They are transmitted

• They disappear

• They are absorbed

What happens to sound waves when they are absorbed by a medium?

• They become louder

• They create an echo

• They decrease in loudness

• They change color

According to the law of reflection, how does the angle of reflection compare to the angle of incidence?

• It is unrelated

• It is smaller

• It is greater

• It is equal

What is an echo a result of?

• Sound refraction

• Sound transmission

• Sound reflection

• Sound absorption

What determines the amount of energy transferred during wave transmission?

• The wave's speed

• The medium's density and temperature

• The medium's shape

• The color of the wave

Why can light waves travel through a vacuum but sound waves cannot?

• Light waves are mechanical

• Sound waves are electromagnetic

• Light waves are electromagnetic

• Sound waves are faster

What happens to light waves as they pass through different materials?

• They become sound waves

• They disappear

• They bend

• They change color

Why can you hear people in the next room but not see them?

• Sound waves can travel through walls

• Light waves can travel through walls

• Light waves are reflected by walls

• Sound waves are absorbed by walls

What factors influence how waves interact with different mediums?

• The medium's color

• The wave's speed

• The wave's frequency and wavelength

• The medium's shape
