Light Waves: Quiz #1 Preview

​DRAG & DROP: (a)   is a type of wave that carries energy from one place to another even through an empty space.

• Light
• Ultraviolet
• Energy
• Light Source

In this GIF, which of the vocabulary represents what is happening in the GIF?

• Absorption

• Reflection

• Transmit

• Visualize

DROP DOWN: The skin taking taking in the sun is an example of

(a)  

• Absorb
• Transmit
• Rate
• Visualize

SHORT ANSWER: How is it possible for light to change matter? Include evidence from our simulations in your answer and use the vocabulary terms light, energy, and absorb.

Simulation Examples: Plants, genetic material, glass window, & solar panel.

DROP DOWN: Matter is

(a)  

• Anything that has mass and takes up space
• A group of atoms joined together in a particular way
• Anything that has weight & takes up space
• A type of invisible light

Everyday, Cristina takes care of her plants that she planted in the forest near her house. She makes sure that it has water, good soil, and the sun. A month has passed and she noticed her plants grew two inches.

Which of the following is the correct statement that explains this example?

• When a material absorbs energy from light, the energy causes the material to change.

• When material transmit energy from light, the energy causes the material to change.

• When material absorbs energy from light, the energy does not cause the material to change.

• When material transmit energy from light, the energy does not cause material to change.

Your friends say that they saw a special nail polish that changes color when it is out in the sun. Can light from the sun cause the nail polish to change color?

• No. Light is not a physical thing, so it cannot change physical things like nail polish.

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

• Yes. The nail polish can take in energy from the light, causing it to change color.

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

CHECK OFF: Which of the following are examples of light sources down below:

• Sun

• Candles

• iPad Screen

• Glass Reflection

• Light Bulbs

Answer explanation

Think about the vocabulary term, "Matter." What is matter? What can change? Think about simulations or your own experience outside!
