The reason you see lightning from a storm sooner than you hear thunder is because .

sound waves travel faster than light

light waves travel faster than heat

light waves travel faster than sound

light waves travel faster than ocean waves

11. If you have a really bad grade you should...

keep trying and come after school to get your grade up.

12. Rainbows are visible because

white light is refracted by the raindrops

White light is reflected off of raindrops

the visible light spectrum has seven colors

the amplitude of each color varies

13. Which statement is most correct?

each color in the spectrum refract at a different angle. Violet refracts the most and red refracts the least.

When white light enters a water droplet, the light bends at different rates. Red bends the most and violet bends the least

The compressions and rarefactions of white light causes it to reflect into different colors

Only seven of the colors of the visible spectrum are absorbed by the raindrops. Other colors such as pink and brown are not absorbed

14. Colors of the rainbow are part of the Visible Spectrum. Which of the statement below lists waves in the EM spectrum in increasing wavelength frequency (low frequency to high frequency)?

Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays

Gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves, radio waves.

Radio waves, microwaves, ultraviolet, infrared, visible light, x-rays, gamma rays

19. Astronauts in on the moon would not hear the engines of a lunar lander because____

there are no air molecules on the moon to carry sound

it is too cold on the moon for sound waves to travel

the moon has no magnetic field to carry sound

the lunar soil deadens the sound waves

21. Which is the best explanation for the refracting of light?

As light passes from one substance to another it changes speeds causing the light to bend.

Shiny surfaces such a mirror allow light to bounce back at you.

Particle matter in the air interfere with the transmission of light causing it to scatter.

White light is absorbed by an apple and only the red color waves are reflected.

22. Which statement best explains the heating of an object.

A black car is hotter than a white car because the white car reflects more light than the black car does.

Beach sand is cooler than the black asphalt (road) because the light colored sand absorbs more light.

Black object heat faster because of the compression waves that add heat energy.

How is the amplitude of ocean wave related to the energy it carries based on the data provided?

As the amplitude increases the energy increases

The amplitude of ocean waves has no effect on the energy they carry.

Energy is constant regardless of the amplitude of ocean waves.

The amplitude of ocean waves is inversely proportional to the energy they carry.
