EQ: How do waves behave and what are the characteristics of their behavior

S8P4 d. Develop and use a model to compare and contrast how light and sound waves are refracted, absorbed, transmitted, defracted, and reflected through various materials.

All waves can be deflected, distorted or changed when they come in contact with a boundary.

WAVE DISTURBANCES

WAVE DISTURBANCES

• Absorbed
• Reflected

• Transmitted

When light interacts with matter it can be….

If you see text in red as we are moving through the slide show, this is important information that should be written down on your graphic organizer.

Remember….

Absorption (bananas) image. https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/646726/what-wavelengths-of-light-does-a-banana-reflect

EX: Yellow bananas are seen as yellow because all other colors are ABSORBED

Absorption: Occurs when light waves enters a medium and disappears. Energy is transferred from the wave to the matter in the new medium.

Light stops at the object and does not reflect or refract.

Law of reflection diagram. https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/introductorygeneralphysics2phys1207opticsfirst/chapter/25-2-the-law-of-reflection/

EX: An image reflected on a still water body.

Law of Reflection: the angle of incidence is = to the angle of reflection

Reflection: A wave strikes the surface of a medium and bounces off.

Transmission: Occurs when light waves pass through an object without interacting.

Can you identify each type of light interaction occurring?
