Light transfers - 

mechanical energy in compression waves

radiant energy in transverse waves

electrical energy in compression waves

thermal energy in transverse waves

Question 7

Both light and sound travel in waves. Why do you see a commercial jet high in the sky before you hear it?

People have better vision than they do hearing.

Light travels faster than sound.

Light and sound have different wavelengths.

Light waves travel in straight lines called rays.

radiant energy particles

the visible spectrum

a medium to travel through

transformation

What is true about light?

Sunlight only contains ultraviolet light.

Visible light is radiant energy that can be seen.

Sound waves travel faster than light waves.

Light waves travel up and down until they hit something.

The cloth is transverse. 

The cloth is translucent.

The cloth is transparent.

The cloth is opaque.

Which best explains why the Washington Monument can be seen in the water below it?

Light is refracted as it enters water.

Light is reflected off of smooth surfaces.

Light can pass through water easily.

Light travels in a compression wave.

A

B

C

D

A student conducting an investigation with light had the question shown.

Based on this question, which of the following could be the student’s hypothesis?

I think the water magnifies their legs making them look bigger.

Do my legs look bent while standing in the water?

I know that refraction is the bending of waves.

If people stand in the water, then their legs will look more bent than when they stand on the sidewalk.
