An elementary particle that oscillates to produce different types of electromagnetic waves

An oscillating atom in matter that helps a wave propagate through a medium

Why does an object appear black?

It absorbs all the color of light

It reflects all the color of light

It reflects the darkest colors of visible light (blue and violet)

It absorbs the darkest colors of visible light (blue and violet)

How is the energy associated with an electromagnetic wave related to the frequency of the wave?

As the frequency increases, the energy of the wave increases

As the frequency increases, the energy of the wave decreases

The energy of an electromagnetic wave is not related to its frequency

Which of the following statements does NOT correctly describe light and sound waves?

The energy of light and sound waves is related to the amplitude of the wave.

Light waves can travel in a vacuum but sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum.

Light waves are faster than sound waves.

Light waves are electromagnetic waves and sound waves are mechanical waves.

How are lenses important or useful?

A. They can make an image appear bigger

B. They can make an image appear smaller

C. They can change the color that an object appears

Why does white light that passes through a prism separate into a spectrum of colors?

The light refracts as it passes through the prism, separating into different colors

The light reflects off the prism into different colors

The light diffracts as it passes through the prism, separating into different colors

Interference causes light to separate into different colors as it passes through the prism

How is infrared light emitted by the sun important to life on Earth?

It produces the light we need to see on Earth

It helps many animals, including some birds and insects, navigate

Which statement below correctly describes the speed of light?

Nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light

The speed of light is slower than the speed of sound

The speed of light is relatively slow compared to how objects travel in the universe

The speed of light is fast, but not faster than a fighter jet

What is a light year?

The distance light travels in one year

The time it takes light to travel 1 trillion miles

The average speed of light over one year

A way of comparing the speed of light to the speed of sound

The Doppler Effect explains:

How the frequency of an electromagnetic wave produced by an object changes for an observer when the object moves towards or away from the observer

Why the speed of an electromagnetic wave can change

How the energy of an electromagnetic wave is associated with a wave’s amplitude

How the amplitude of an electromagnetic wave produced by an object changes for an observer when the object moves towards or away from the observe

What happens when an object emitting visible light moves towards you?

The frequency increases and the light shifts towards the color blue

The frequency decreases and the light shifts towards the color red

The frequency increases and the light shifts towards the color red

The frequency decreases and the light shifts towards the color blue

What is a wave signal?

A wave with a specific pattern that carries information

A sound wave converted into a light wave

A wave that has been amplified to carry excess energy

Which of the following statements is NOT true about analog and digital waves?

Analog signals are generally transmitted faster than digital signals

Analog signals are more likely to “catch” interference

Digital signals are more likely to retain their accuracy in delivering information across long distances

Both analog and digital signals are used today
