1 Wave Motion p.14

2 Waves have 3 general options when they encounter a medium
Reflect Absorb Transmit

3 Reflect: Bounce back Example: Echoes in a canyon

4 Transmit: Pass through
Example: Sound through air

5 Absorb: taken in Example: Sound proofing a room

6 Many times more than one thing is happening at once.
Example- Echolocation is the use of sound waves and echoes to determine where objects are in space

7 Light examples

8 Reflection of light by the moon works the same as a mirror

9 Transmission of light through a window

10 Some mediums bend the light as they pass through
Refraction-bending of a wave

11 We see the color black because it absorbs all light waves

12 Many times more than one thing is happening at once.
Why do we see different colors from white light?

13 How do rainbows work?

14 Sometimes the wave gets bent and spread out
Diffraction: The bending and spreading of a wave usually around an obstacle
