Students place a pencil in a glass of water as shown. The pencil in the water looks broken because --

• water dissolves the pencil

• water is colder than air

• light refracts when it enters the water

• light is absorbed when it hits the glass

Which statements would be true of an object that appears white in the presence of light? Select all that apply.

• The object does not absorb any wavelengths of the visible light spectrum.

• The object reflects the smallest wavelength, violet, but not the largest wavelength, red.

• The object absorbs all of the spectrum except for the wavelength of white.

• The object reflects all wavelengths of the visible light spectrum.

• The object is transparent allowing all wavelengths to pass through without absorbing or reflecting.

A black asphalt highway becomes hotter in the summer than a white concrete highway because --

• it reflects all the colors of visible light except black, which it absorbs, making the highway hotter.

• it absorbs all the colors of visible light and transforms that radiant energy into heat energy.

• it absorbs all the colors of visible light except black, which it reflects, and transforms that radiant energy into heat energy.

• it reflects all the colors of visible light and transforms that radiant energy into heat energy.
