Notes for waves and opaque transparent and translucent

a material that does not let light pass trough

opaque

wax paper and frosted glass are

translucent

glasses air glass water bottle are examples of

transparent material

transverse waves in a slinky move

up and down ( like a snake)

The highest part of a wave is

the crest

The lowest part of a wave is

the trough

Large amplitude

high energy

Small amplitude

low energy

what type of wave is faster sound or Light?

Light because if you think about lighting and thunder lighting comes first then thunder

What type of wave can travel in space Sound or Light

Light because sound needs a medium and light does not

What is a medium

is anything a wave travels through

A wave is a disturbance that travels

one place to another

The part of a wave that tells how long a crest to a crest is

wavelength

Longer wavelength

less energy

Shorter wavelength

high energy

Longitudinal waves in a slinky move

back and forth

When light strikes a object it can be

reflected,absorbed,transmitted,or Scattered (Rats)

You can see through this but it is blurry ( wax paper fog)

translucent things

You can see through it perfectly ( eye glasses plastic water bottle)

transparent things

You cant not see through it at all ( wood metal)

Opaque things

If a was wearing a red should what type of rats would that be

reflected

true or false, if I was wearing a blue shirt yellow would be reflected

false

True or false I can see through translucent things perfectly

false

True or false, the amplitude of a wave is a measure of the amount of energy the wave carries

true

true or false, The frequency is a measure of the number of waves that pass a point in given amount of time

true
