Assignment Summary For this assignment, you will develop several models that show how light waves and mechanical waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials. For each model, you will write a brief description of the interaction between the wave and the material. You will also compose two typewritten paragraphs. The first will compare and contrast light waves interacting with different materials. The second will explain why materials with certain properties are well suited for particular functions. Background Information A wave is any disturbance that carries energy from one place to another. There are two different types of waves: mechanical and electromagnetic. A mechanical wave carries energy through matter. Energy is transferred through vibrating particles of matter. Examples of mechanical waves include ocean waves, sound waves, and seismic waves. Like a mechanical wave, an electromagnetic wave can also carry energy through matter. However, unlike a mechanical wave, an electromagnetic wave does not need particles of matter to carry energy. Examples of electromagnetic waves include microwaves, visible light, X-rays, and radiation from the Sun. Materials  Three to five sheets of paper per student (plain; 8 ½” 11”)  Drawing/writing utensil Assignment Instructions Step 1: Prepare for the project. a) Read the entire Student Guide before you begin this project. Pay particular attention to the instructions needed to create your model. b) If anything is not clear to you, ask your teacher for assistance. c) Gather the materials you will need to complete this project. Step 2: Prepare to create the models. a) In the following steps, you will create diagrams that model several different wave interactions. b) In each diagram, be sure to identify the type of wave. Use arrows to indicate the interaction(s) of each wave with each material. Identify the material the wave interacts with. c) Make sure that your name is on each page. When you are finished, staple all of the pages together. Do not make look sus and I will give you brainliest and 90 points
