Question
Match the following terms with their definitions:
Transmission
Refraction
Reflection
Absorption
- when a wave bounces off of a surface
- when a wave moves through a material
- when a material takes in a wave’s energy
- when a wave bends as it moves from one material to another
What color surface absorbs all colors?
What color surface reflects all colors?
What is refracted light?
What color shirt is best to wear outside on a hot day? Why?
Why does a pencil look broken when it is placed in a glass of water? Is this an example of transmission, refraction or reflection?
Quick Check Help- Pay attention to question #4 on page 6. How do clouds affect temperature?
Quick Check Help- If a material is transparent or translucent and allows a color to pass through it, it would be transmitting that color. For example, a red stained glass window will absorb all colors except for red. It will transmit red through the glass.

Here are the matches for the terms and their definitions:
1. Transmission - when a wave moves through a material
2. Refraction - when a wave bends as it moves from one material to another
3. Reflection - when a wave bounces off of a surface
4. Absorption - when a material takes in a wave’s energy

**What color surface absorbs all colors?**
- Black
**What color surface reflects all colors?**
- White
---
**What is refracted light?**
- Refracted light is light that has changed direction as it passes from one material to another due to a change in speed, typically resulting in bending.
---
**What color shirt is best to wear outside on a hot day? Why?**
- A white shirt is best to wear outside on a hot day because it reflects all colors of light and does not absorb much heat, keeping you cooler.
---
**Why does a pencil look broken when it is placed in a glass of water? Is this an example of transmission, refraction or reflection?**
- A pencil looks broken when placed in water due to refraction, as the light changes speed and direction when passing from air to water, causing the appearance of the pencil to shift.

**Quick Check Help - How do clouds affect temperature?**
- Clouds can affect temperature by blocking sunlight during the day, which can keep temperatures cooler, and by trapping heat during the night, which can result in warmer temperatures.
