A sheet of aluminum foil and a black towel were both placed outside in the sun. The surface temperature of the two items was taken after 10 minutes, and the temperature of the black towel was much higher than that of the aluminum foil. The best tool to take measurements of the temperature in this investigation is a -

• balance

• graduated cylinder

• stop watch

• thermometer

By passing white light through a prism, you can tell -

• that white light is actually a mixture of different colors

• the mass of the prism

• the original source of the light

• that blue light is brighter than white light

A prism can be used to make white light spread out into the colors of the visible spectrum. This is due to the -

• speed of light

• refraction of light

• compression of light

• consumption of light

Which statement below best describes why a rainbow occurs in the sky?

• Clouds in the sky reflect the light off the colors from the ground

• Clouds in the sky refract the light off the colors from the ground

• Water droplets act as a prism in the sky and refract the light of the sun to create the visible spectrum.

• Water droplets act as a prism in the sky and reflect the light of the sun to create the visible spectrum

In the diagram above, which letter represents the wavelength?

• A

• B

• C

• D
