Photons cause the release of electrons.

Photons change their wavelength without any interaction.

How does the diffraction pattern support the concept of light as a wave?

By showing the interference of light waves

By indicating the reflection of light.

By revealing the refraction of light.

By demonstrating the emission of photons

Why are the back surfaces of automobile headlights curved? The back surfaces of automobile headlights are curved because they are needed _________________.

to concentrate light in one direction

to get multiple images of the filament

for structural reasons not related to optics

for inverted, real images of filaments shine brighter

Why does the sky appear blue? The sky appears blue because ________________.

the earth’s atmosphere scatters more blue than red light

earth’s atmosphere emits blue light

the air away from the sun cools down

How do the phases of the moon affect tides on Earth?

They cause high tides during full moon and new moon.

They cause irregular tides throughout the lunar cycle.

They cause low tides during full moon and new moon.

Why is red light used in photographic dark rooms? It is because ____________.

red lighting allows photographers to control light so that light-sensitive photographic paper would not become overexposed and ruin the pictures during the developing process like monochromes which are black and white

color films are not sensitive to all colors, so they are developed in complete darkness

the wavelength of red light is 780 – 620 nm while violet is 455 to 390 nm, energy of a photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength

x-ray imaging films are mostly blue-sensitive (old ones) and green-sensitive (currently used), thus orange and cherry red filters work least for illumination over a low wattage bulb

Why do we easily get sunburned in ultraviolet light but not in visible light? We get sunburn easily because ___________.

radiation has a wavelength of sunlight in a range too short for the human eye to see

radiation the is the region of UV spectrum which extends from 280 to 320 nm in wavelength

ultraviolet B has a shorter wavelength which is associated with skin burning while UVA has longer wavelength which is associated with aging

How do slightly different ray paths through a raindrop contribute to the formation of supernumerary bows?

By yielding different path lengths and exit angles.

By producing rainbows of different colors.

By causing destructive interference of light.

By reducing the intensity of the primary rainbow.

How did the arrival of electromagnetic waves cause sparks in the receiver?

By generating electrical vibrations in the receiver.

By creating interference patterns.

By generating vibrations in the receiver.

By generating vibrations in the transmitter.
