EMS and Visible Light

Front

What happens to frequency when wavelength increases?

Back

Frequency decreases.

Front

What is it called when light is absorbed by an object and converted to heat?

Back

Absorbed.

Front

What occurs to light when it passes through a prism?

Back

The wavelength bends, breaking the light into its separate colors.

Front

What color corresponds to the longest wavelength in visible light?

Back

Red.

Front

What is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?

Back

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Front

What is the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS)?

Back

The range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light.

Front

What is visible light?

Back

The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen by the human eye.

Front

What is refraction?

Back

The bending of light as it passes from one medium to another.

Front

What is reflection?

Back

The bouncing back of light when it hits a surface.

Front

What is absorption in the context of light?

Back

The process by which light is taken in by an object and converted to energy.
