Big Ideas
- Waves interact with materials in different ways, including being reflected, absorbed, or transmitted.
- Models help us understand and predict how waves behave when they encounter different materials.
Essential Questions
- How do waves interact with different types of materials?
- What are the differences between reflection, absorption, and transmission of waves?
- How can we use models to predict how waves will behave in various situations?
- Why is understanding wave interactions with materials important in everyday life?
- How do the properties of materials determine whether a wave is reflected, absorbed, or transmitted?
