How Light behaves
The bouncing of a light off a surface
reflection
Diffracts or Refracts. The surface of a music CD does this with light.
diffracts
You produce this type of energy when you whine about a science test. Thermal or sound
sound energy
The number of vibrations or waves that pass a certain point in a given amount of time
frequency
Smooth or rough. . this surface will REFLECT MORE of the light that strikes it
smooth
Bending of light AROUND the edge of an object (sunlight)
diffraction
This is the form of energy given when you touch a HOT firework! electrical, light, or thermal energy.
thermal
List three forms of energy produced when fireworks go off!
sound; thermal; light
The energy of motion?
kinetic energy
A wave that humans can't see, but cameras can record. No bones about it! Handy when you break one!
What is an x-ray
Allows almost all light to pass through
transparent
Kinetic to potential or potential to kinetic. This is the energy transformation of a boulder (big rock) as it rolls down a hill.
potential to kinetic
This type of energy changes your food into something your body can use. . . so you can TAKE the science test :0) Thermal or chemical
chemical energy
The low part of a wave
trough
Not allowing any light to pass through. Good choice for curtains if you want to sleep in on Saturday morning!
opaque.
Bending of light as it passes from one material to another (straw in a water)
What is refraction
This absorbs the LEAST amount of light energy. metal, clear glass, or wood
clear glass
You use this type of energy when you turn on a lamp to produce light. Thermal or electrical
electrical
Energy that is due to the position or condition of an object?
potential energy
A way to describe the loudness of sound
decibel
Allowing SOME light to pass through
translucent
Green or purple. This is the color that grass reflects. All others are aborbed.
green
You use this type of energy when you make toast. Sound or thermal
thermal energy
a disturbance that carries energy through matter or space
a wave
The part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum that you CAN see
visible light
