Why are X-rays able to take pictures of our bones?

Dense bones and metal absorb more X-rays than soft tissue.

What behavior would you expect from a water wave running into a concrete wall?

Wave will be (mostly) reflected

This picture looks different in visible (left) and ultraviolet (right) light because...

Sunscreen transmits visible light and absorbs ultraviolet light.

Watch the video clip. Compared to visible light, how does infrared light interact with the bag?

Infrared waves are being transmitted through the bag.

Watch the video clip. Compared to visible light, how does infrared light interact with the plastic?

Infrared waves are being BOTH reflected and absorbed by the plastic.

What behavior would you expect from a water wave running into a mesh fence?

Wave will be (mostly) transmitted through

Which electromagnetic waves travel faster?

All electromagnetic waves move at the same speed
