directions: fill in the missing information in the chart below\nterm definition labeled picture examples\nwave interaction: waves behave in different ways when they interact with different objects.\nreflection\ntransmission: • seismic waves • water waves\nabsorption: the process of a wave hitting a surface and the energy of the wave being taken in by the surface.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Define reflection
Reflection is the bouncing back of a wave when it hits a surface.
Step2: Provide examples of reflection
Light reflecting off a mirror, sound echoing off a wall.
Step3: Define transmission
Transmission is the process by which a wave passes through a medium.
Step4: Provide labeled picture for transmission (not provided in text but conceptually could be a wave passing through a transparent object like light through glass)
Not applicable as no picture drawn here but could be a drawing of light rays passing through a window pane.
Step5: Provide examples for reflection
Light reflecting from a shiny metal surface, ultrasound waves reflecting off internal body structures.
Step6: Provide examples for transmission
Visible light passing through water, radio - waves passing through the atmosphere.
Step7: Define absorption in terms of examples
When light hits a black surface, most of the light energy is absorbed. When sound waves hit a thick carpet, the energy is absorbed reducing the echo.
Answer:
| Term | Definition | Labeled Picture | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wave Interaction | Waves behave in different ways when they interact with different objects. | N/A | N/A |
| Reflection | The bouncing back of a wave when it hits a surface. | A diagram showing an incident wave and a reflected wave with an angle of incidence equal to the angle of reflection (as given) | Light reflecting off a mirror, sound echoing off a wall, light reflecting from a shiny metal surface, ultrasound waves reflecting off internal body structures |
| Transmission | The process by which a wave passes through a medium. | Conceptually a wave passing through a transparent object (e.g. light through glass - not drawn) | Seismic waves passing through the Earth's layers, water waves passing through a gap in a break - water, visible light passing through water, radio - waves passing through the atmosphere |
| Absorption | The process of a wave hitting a surface and the energy of the wave being taken in by the surface. | N/A | Light hitting a black surface, sound waves hitting a thick carpet |
