What is polarized light?

Light that travels in one plane

Light that travels in multiple planes

Light that travels in a circular motion

When is glare produced?

When light reflects off horizontal surfaces like snow, water, or the road

When light reflects off vertical surfaces

When light reflects off any surface

Why do we see blue when we look up at the sky?

The atmosphere scatters blue light in all directions

The atmosphere scatters red light in all directions

The atmosphere scatters green light in all directions

The atmosphere scatters yellow light in all directions

During sunset or sunrise, why do we see longer wavelengths (lighter colors) in the sky?

The atmosphere scatters shorter wavelengths (blue) during sunset/sunrise

The atmosphere scatters longer wavelengths (red) during sunset/sunrise

The atmosphere absorbs longer wavelengths (red) during sunset/sunrise

The atmosphere reflects shorter wavelengths (blue) during sunset/sunrise

What is an ultrasound used for?

Creating a picture of organs, tissues, and other structures inside the body

What does the Law of Reflection state?

The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence

The angle of reflection is greater than the angle of incidence

The angle of reflection is less than the angle of incidence

The angle of reflection is unrelated to the angle of incidence

Which of the following diagrams best represents the Law of Reflection?

A diagram showing the angle of reflection equal to the angle of incidence

A diagram showing the angle of reflection greater than the angle of incidence

A diagram showing the angle of reflection less than the angle of incidence

A diagram showing no relationship between the angle of reflection and the angle of incidence

When a wave changes direction or bends when it changes speed when moving from one medium to another.

When a wave is absorbed by a medium.

When a wave is reflected back into the same medium.

When a wave travels in a straight line without changing speed.

What happens to a wave during refraction?

It continues in a straight line.

What does a high index of refraction indicate about the movement of light through a material?

Light moves slowly through the material.

Light moves quickly through the material.

Light does not move through the material.

Light changes color in the material.

What is white light made up of?

All the colors of the visible spectrum

Which of the following is an example of sound refraction?

Sound traveling from warm air over land to cold air over water

Sound traveling through a vacuum

Sound traveling through a solid object

Sound traveling in a straight line

The change in direction of a wave when it travels by the edge or through an opening of an object

The bending of light as it passes through a prism

The reflection of sound waves off a surface

The absorption of light by a material

Why can you hear the TV from another room but not see it?

Sound waves are much longer than light waves and can diffract more

Light waves are absorbed by walls

Sound waves travel faster than light waves

What is interference in the context of waves?

When waves overlap or combine, forming a new wave

When waves reflect off a surface

When waves travel in a straight line

When waves are absorbed by a medium

What is the result of constructive interference in terms of wave amplitude?

The new wave has a greater amplitude

The new wave has a smaller amplitude

The new wave has the same amplitude

What happens to the amplitude and energy of a new wave during destructive interference?

The new wave has a smaller amplitude and less energy.

The new wave has a larger amplitude and more energy.

The new wave has the same amplitude and energy.

The new wave has a larger amplitude and less energy.

What is the result of destructive interference with light?

The light will get dimmer or produce no light.

The light will become more focused.
