Required Practical - Infrared radiation
Keywords:
  • reflection: light bounces back from a smooth surface (1)
  • waves: transfer energy but not matter (1)
  • transmitted: pass from one place to another (1)
  • boundary: point where two materials of different density meet (1)

Waves can be absorbed or transmitted at the boundary between two different materials. How are waves absorbed or transmitted?

Use the practical equipment to observe what happens when light reaches a boundary
Required practical: infrared radiation absorbed or radiated by a surface depends on the nature of that surface.(AT skills 1,4)
