Light Interactions
Light travels in the form of:
What are waves?
Light waves with shorter wavelengths have ____ energy.
What is less?
to take in
what is absorb?
This type of light is emitted from the sun and can cause damage to genetic material.
What is UV (ultraviolet) light?
____ carries energy that causes materials to change.
What is light?
This is what happens when light hits a mirror.
What is reflection?
The wavelength of a light describes:
What is the distance between two wave peaks?
to bounce off without absorbing
what is reflect?
This type of molecule absorbs UV light.
what is ozone?
What is absorbs?
A material that allows all light to pass through.
What is transparency?
This property of a light wave affects how bright the light appears.
What is amplitude?
to pass through
what is transmit?
This type of molecule reflects UV light.

What is straight?
A material that blocks light so you can't see through it is called:
What is opaque?
Two light waves have the same wavelength but different amplitudes. They will look different because:
What is one will be brighter?
a pattern that describes how energy is carried from one place to another
