light,heat and sound Flashcards
the transfer of heat through solid materials
conduction
materials that allows heat to transfer easily
conductors
materials that through which heat passes slowly or not at alk
insulators
the transfer of heat from one place to another by movement of in fluid
convection
heat can also be transmitted across empty space or vacuum
radiation
the heat we received from the sun
radiant energy
some scientist say that light behaves like
wave
objects through which light cannot pass through is called
opaque materials ex: wood, walls
objects through which light can pass through
transparent materials ex: plastic windows, glass

translucent materials ex: frosted glasses and paper
when the light cannot pass through an object, a dark area is form
shadow
it uses shadow to tell the time
sundial
