What are 3 similarities in light waves and sound waves?
Both light waves and sound waves are forms of energy that travel in waves, they can be reflected, refracted and diffracted. Both can also exhibit properties like interference and polarization.
How waves behave when they interact with objects?
When waves interact with objects, they can be reflected, absorbed, refracted, diffracted, or transmitted. The specific behavior depends on the type of wave and the properties of the object. For example, light waves can be reflected off a mirror, sound waves can be absorbed by a soft surface, and water waves can be diffracted around obstacles.
How do the properties of light waves and sound waves differ in terms of their propagation through different mediums?
Light waves can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space, while sound waves require a medium, like air or water, to propagate. Light waves travel much faster than sound waves, with a speed of about 186,282 miles per second in a vacuum, compared to the speed of sound waves, which is about 767 miles per hour in air. Additionally, light waves can be reflected, refracted, and diffracted, while sound waves can only be reflected and refracted.
In what ways are ocean waves and sound waves similar?
Ocean waves and sound waves are similar in that they both involve the transfer of energy through a medium, they both exhibit characteristics such as frequency and amplitude, and they can both be reflected, refracted, and diffracted.
What are some ways waves interact with matter?
Waves can be absorbed, transmitted, refracted, reflected, diffracted, or scattered when they interact with matter. The specific interaction depends on the properties of the wave and the material it encounters.
A wave travelling in air falls on glass plate It is partly reflected and partly refracted The phase difference between reflected and refracted wave is?
The phase difference between the reflected and refracted waves is π radians (180 degrees). This means that the two waves are in opposite phases when they interact with the glass plate.
What happens to light when its strikes an object?
The light waves can be reflected, absorbed, they can pass the object or be refracted.,
How do differences in the density of materials cause waves to be reflected or refracted?
more the density more the refraction. reflection depends on the surface
How will you compare prism to raindrops?
Light is refracted and reflected by a (glass) prism Light is refracted and reflected by a raindrop

When light goes through a camera lens is it reflected or refracted?
It would be refracted.
How waves behave when they meet an obstacle or pass into another medium?
When waves meet an obstacle, they can be reflected, transmitted, or diffracted around the obstacle. When waves pass into another medium, they can be refracted (change direction), reflected, or absorbed depending on the difference in properties of the two mediums such as density or speed of propagation.
What kind of path does light waves travel?
Light waves travel in straight lines unless they encounter a medium density change or are reflected or refracted by a surface. This results in bending or scattering of the light waves along their path.
