1 answer

  1. The objective of this lesson is to understand concepts related to sound and light waves, including absorption, insulation, and the properties of materials.

  2. The ocean appears blue because water absorbs colors in the red spectrum and reflects blue light.

  3. Materials such as fiberglass, foam, and heavy curtains are effective sound insulators.

  4. To make a soundproof room, you should use materials that absorb sound rather than reflect it.

  5. Absorption is the process by which a material takes in energy from waves, thereby reducing or eliminating the energy's reflection or transmission.

  6. Black clothes feel warmer than white clothes because they absorb more sunlight and convert it into heat.

  7. Sunscreen works by absorbing and reflecting harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, helping protect the skin from damage related to wave absorption.
