What best describes the doppler effect?

An apparent change in frequency of a wave due to the relative motion between a wave source and an observer

An apparent change in the amplitude of a wave due to the relative motion between a wave source and an observer.

Why do you not see an image when light reflects off a rough surface?

because the reflection is diffuse

because not enough light is not reflected

because the reflection is specular

because the law of reflection does not apply

When light passes from a medium that is less dense (like air) to a medium that is more dense (like water) ____________.

it is bent towards the normal line

it always lies along the normal line

it is bent away from the normal line

What happens to the image when you move the candle further away from the lens?

Get smaller and moves toward the lens

Get bigger and moves toward the lens

Get smaller and moves away from the lens

Get bigger and moves away from the lens

What happens to the image when you move the candle to the focal point F 1 ?

Get smaller and moves toward the lens

Get bigger and moves toward the lens

Get smaller and moves away from the lens

Get bigger and moves away from the lens

Light travels at the speed of light, and sound travels at the speed of sound. Both depend on the medium through which they travel. The difference is that in denser media, _______________ slows down but _______________ moves faster.

Trick question! There is no difference. Neither speed changes, ever!

Lies! They both slow down in denser media

Why does white light from the sun form a colorful rainbow when it passes through water droplets in the atmosphere?

The colors that make up white light refract at different angles

The droplets of water in the air have different densities

White light diffracts when it encounters water

Different-sized water droplets refract white light at different angles

If a star is being observed from Earth and it's light has shifted towards the blue side of the electromagnetic spectrum it would be...

This is a trick question that cannot be answered

It isn't a star, it is a very large blueberry.

Can a plane mirror produce a real image?

No, the image is always virtual because a plane mirror cannot focus light.

Yes, the image is real because the place mirror reflects the same image.

Yes, the image is real because the plane mirror can focus light.

No, the image is sometimes virtual depending on the angle of the mirror.

Gamma Rays are very harmful to humans because ___.

all the above options are correct

They can penetrate all our tissue.
