It changes from a particle to a wave

Why does white light from the sun form a colorful rainbow when it passes through water droplets in the atmosphere?

The colors that make up white light refract at different angles

The droplets of water in the air have different densities

Different-sized water droplets refract white light at different angles

White light diffracts when it encounters water

What is the main difference between refraction and diffraction?

Refraction involves the bending of light; diffraction involves the bending and spreading of light, usually around an obstacle.

Refraction is a phenomenon that affects light; diffraction is a phenomenon that affects sound.

Refraction usually happens in the atmosphere; diffraction usually happens closer to the earth's surface.

Refraction involves changes to the density of light; diffraction involves changes to the speed of light.

When light waves move from passing through air to passing through a glass lens when happens to them?

They slow down and change direction

They speed up and change direction

They maintain the same speed and change direction

They maintain their same speed and direction

Why do objects appear the color they do?

Most light wavelengths are absorbed while some light wavelengths are reflected

Most light wavelengths are transmitted while some light wavelengths are reflected

Most light wavelengths are reflected while some light wavelengths are absorbed

Most light wavelengths are reflected while some light wavelengths are transmitted

What happens to light when it strikes an opaque surface?

the light does not pass through the opaque surface

the light passes through with no change

the light is refracted back and separated into colors

the light curves around the opaque surface entirely

Which describes a convex lens?

thicker in the middle than on the edges

thicker on the edges than in the middle
