If a car sits out in the sun every day for a long time, can light from the sun damage the car's paint?

Yes. The paint can take in (absorb) energy from the light, causing it to be damaged.

No. Light can only change things by warming them up, so it cannot damage the car's paint.

No. Light is not a physical thing, so it cannot change physical things like paint.

Yes. Light from the sun can pull energy out of the paint, causing it to be damaged.

Alex has a type of rock called calcite, which sometimes glows. He puts the calcite under a desk lamp but the calcite does not glow. Then he puts it under an ultraviolet lamp and the calcite glows. Why does ultraviolet light make the calcite glow when light from the desk lamp does not?

Because calcite can take in(absorbs) energy from ultraviolet light but not from the light from the desk lamp.

Because ultraviolet light carries energy, and light from the desk lamp does not.

Because ultraviolet light pulls energy out of the calcite, and light from the desk lamp does not.

Because ultraviolet light carries glowing molecules, and light from the desk lamp does not.

Your friend says that she heard about a special type of ink that is only visible when it is out in the sun. Can light from the sun cause this ink to become visible?

Yes. The ink can absorb energy from the light, causing it to become visible.

No. Light can only change things by warming them up, so it cannot make the ink become visible.

No. Light is not a physical thing, so it cannot change physical things like ink.

Yes. Light from the sun can pull energy out of the ink, causing it to become visible.

Alina notices that when she shines a desk lamp on a mirror, nothing happens. When she shines an infrared lamp on the mirror, the mirror starts to get warmer. Why does light from the infrared lamp warm the mirror when light from the desk lamp does not?

Because the mirror can absorb energy from infrared light but not from the light from the desk lamp.

Because infrared light carries energy, and light from the desk lamp does not.

Because infrared light carries heat molecules, and light from the desk lamp does not.

Because infrared light pulls energy out of the mirror, and light from the desk lamp does not.

Your friend shows you a special kind of paper that can change color. He says that it will change color if it is out in the sun. Can light from the sun cause the paper to change color?

Yes. The paper can take in, or absorb, energy from the light, causing it to change color.

Yes. Light from the sun can pull energy out of the paper, causing it to change color.

No. Light is not a physical thing, so it cannot change physical things like paper.

No. Light can only change things by warming them up, so it cannot cause the paper to change color.

Khaled has a red toy that is painted with a special kind of paint. When he puts the toy under a desk lamp, it stays red. When he puts the toy under an infrared lamp, it turns blue. Why does the infrared light cause the toy to turn blue when the light from the desk lamp does not?

Because the paint can absorb energy from infrared light but not from the light from the desk lamp.

Because infrared light pulls energy out of the paint, and light from the desk lamp does not.

Because infrared light carries colored molecules, and light from the desk lamp does not.

Because infrared light carries energy, and light from the desk lamp does not.
