Summative #4 part 2 Light Review

Front

What is the order of electromagnetic waves from shortest wavelength to longest wavelength?

Back

gamma - x-ray - ultraviolet - visible - infrared - microwave - radio

Front

What type of lens is used to converge light rays?

Back

Convex lens

Front

What type of lens is used to diverge light rays?

Back

Concave lens

Front

What is reflection in terms of light behavior?

Back

Reflection is the bouncing back of light rays when they hit a surface.

Front

What is refraction in terms of light behavior?

Back

Refraction is the bending of light rays as they pass from one medium to another.

Front

What is absorption in terms of light behavior?

Back

Absorption is the process by which light is taken in by a material.

Front

What is scattering in terms of light behavior?

Back

Scattering is the redirection of light rays in different directions when they encounter particles.

Front

What happens to sound waves in space?

Back

Sound waves will not travel through space because sound must have a medium to travel through.

Front

What happens to the speed of light waves when the density of the substance they are traveling through increases?

Back

The speed of light waves decreases when traveling through denser substances.

Front

What is the electromagnetic spectrum?

Back

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, ordered by wavelength.
