Amplify Light Waves Review

These graphs show the wavelength and amplitude of light coming from three lasers. Could any of these lasers be giving off a different type of light?

• Yes. Laser 2 could be giving off a different type of light because Laser 2 has a different wavelength than Lasers 1 and 3.

• Yes. Laser 3 could be giving off a different type of light because Laser 3 has a different amplitude than Lasers 1 and 2.

• Yes. All three lasers must be giving off different types of light because every light source gives off its own type of light.

• No. All three lasers must be giving off the same type of light because all three are lasers, and the same kind of light source gives off the same type of light.

How are we able to perceive an object as being the color white?

• All colors of visible light are absorbed by an object and then reflected into our eye.

• All colors of visible light are reflected off an object and then to our eye.

• All colors of visible light are absorbed by an object and no light is being reflected into our eye.

Maya wonders which types of light could heat up a sheet of aluminum. The table below shows what happens when different types of light hit the aluminum.

• The X-ray light is more likely to heat up the aluminum because the X-ray light can pull energy out of the aluminum when it passes through the aluminum.

• The ultraviolet light is more likely to heat up the aluminum because the ultraviolet light bounces off the aluminum, which means that it has more energy.

• There is no way to know because they are two different types of light, and different types of light can change a material in different ways.

• Neither type of light is likely to heat up the aluminum because the aluminum does not take in energy from either the X-ray light or the ultraviolet light.
