Light and Waves

Question 1

<p>What is The law of reflection?</p>

Answer 1

the angle it hits at will come back at the same angle

Question 2

<p>What are Longitudinal waves?</p>

Answer 2

<p>Longitudinal waves are where the wave moves the same way as the energy moves. E.g soundwaves, seismic waves</p>

Question 3

<p>What are Transverse waves?</p>

Answer 3

<p>it is where the wave vibrates at right angles to the way it travels E.g light waves, x-rays and water waves</p>

Question 4

What is amplitude?

Answer 4

It is how tall a wave is from the mid point to the top

Question 5

What is a wavelength?

Answer 5

The distance between the top of the tallest parts of the wave

Question 6

what are transparent materials, translucent and opaque materials

Answer 6

Transparent materials light to go through
translucent materials alows some light to go through
opaque materials do not allow any light to go through it

Question 7

what is refraction?

Answer 7

It is the bending of light when it travels through one transparent object to another. it is what allows us to make lenses, magnifying glasses and prisms

Question 8

what causes light to bend

Answer 8

Refraction

Question 9

What is a wave?

Answer 9

A wave is a disturbance that moves energy from one place to another.
