Study Notes

Combination Reactions

A combination reaction is a type of chemical reaction that results in a single product.
Example: Calcium oxide reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide.

Reflection

Reflection is demonstrated by shining a light from a torch onto a mirror.
The path of reflection can be observed on a white sheet of paper.
The light rays bounce off the mirror when they hit its surface.

Sound Reflection

Sound can be reflected off a surface, increasing its intensity.
An experiment using a bell, string, and cardboard can demonstrate sound reflection.
The sound of the bell becomes louder when the cardboard is closer to the wall.
The wall reflects the sound of the bell, increasing its intensity near the wall.
