What characteristic of visible light determines the color you see?

• wavelength

• amplitude

• pitch

• radiation

Why does light "bend" when it moves from water into air?

• light travels at different speeds through different substances

• light travels in a wavy pattern, not straight

• light must have matter in order to transfer energy

• light bounces off the surface of the water

When you see someone wearing a green shirt...

• green wavelengths are reflected into your eye and all other wavelengths are absorbed by the shirt

• green wavelengths are absorbed by the shirt and all other wavelengths are reflected into your eye

• only green wavelengths are hitting the shirt, so that is the color you observe

• all of the wavelengths of light are reflected off the shirt into your eye and your brain filters out the green ones
