Question

sunlight shines on a road. light waves interact with the pavement, and the pavement gets hot.

how do light waves interact with the pavement on the road? complete the sentences.

light waves are when they travel through the air from the sun to the pavement. when the waves interact with the pavement, some are and transfer energy to the pavement. this causes the pavement to get . other waves are and change direction.

Explanation:

1. Light travels through air without changing direction here, so it is transmitted.
2. When light transfers energy to the pavement and heats it, this is absorption.
3. The energy transfer from absorbed light makes the pavement hot.
4. Light that bounces off the pavement and changes direction is reflected.

Answer:

Light waves are transmitted when they travel through the air from the Sun to the pavement. When the waves interact with the pavement, some are absorbed and transfer energy to the pavement. This causes the pavement to get hot. Other waves are reflected and change direction.
