Amplify Light Waves Review

Front

What happens to energy when light changes a material?

Back

If light changes a material, the energy was absorbed.

Front

What happens to energy when light does not change a material?

Back

If light does not change a material, the energy was not absorbed.

Front

Can light cause genetic material to be damaged?

Back

Yes. The genetic material can take in energy from the light.

Front

What do light waves carry from one place to another?

Back

Energy.

Front

What best describes the relationship between different types of waves?

Back

Different types of waves have different wavelengths.

Front

What is the definition of light waves?

Back

Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum.

Front

What is absorption in the context of light and materials?

Back

Absorption is the process by which a material takes in energy from light.

Front

What is the difference between reflection and absorption of light?

Back

Reflection is when light bounces off a surface, while absorption is when light energy is taken in by a material.

Front

What is wavelength in relation to light waves?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between successive peaks of a wave.

Front

What is amplitude in the context of waves?

Back

Amplitude is the height of the wave, which relates to the energy of the wave.
