Answer:
Transmit - cause (something) to pass on from one place or person to another.
Absorb - take in or soak up (energy or a liquid or other substance) by chemical or physical action.
Frequency - the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light), usually measured per second.
Light Energy - Light energy is a kind of kinetic energy with the ability to make types of light visible to human eyes. Light is defined as a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted by hot objects like lasers, bulbs, and the sun.
Reflection - the throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it.
Transparent - (of a material or article) allowing light to pass through so that objects behind can be distinctly seen.
Answer:
In the photo to the left, we can see a red tomato. This tomato appears red because of how it is interacting with the light energy it is receiving. It is reflecting red, and absorbing all other colors: orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. In this depiction, you can see an entire rainbow of colors going into the apple and only red coming/bouncing (reflecting) back off. You can also see the green of the stem, which is colored in the same way. It absorbs certain frequencies of light--all other colors of light than green--and reflects certain frequencies of light, green light.
In this image, we are able to see the apple and stem because the air/medium that we are seeing this image through is transparent. If the surroundings were opaque, we wouldn’t see red at all (all colors would be blocked if light is blocked).
Another transparent factor in this image are light waves. Actual lightwaves (unless they are being refracted in such a way that they are being spread out--like a laser beam hitting a spray of water mist) are transparent.
You wouldn’t be able to see the [red] lightwaves bouncing off, you would only see the red of the apple. When light is being refracted by a different translucent material--such as glass, plastic, and water--that material is also transmitting the light, it is passing on the light wave. This is when refraction/the bending of light due to a change in media occurs.
hope this helps!!
