Can light cause a genetic material to be damaged?

• Yes. The genetic material can take in energy from the light.

• Yes. The light pulled out energy from the genetic material.

• No. Light can only heat up materials.

• No. Light is not a physical thing so it cannot change physical things.

What happens to energy when light changes a material?

• If light changes a material, the energy was absorbed.

• If light changes a material, the energy becomes warm.

• If light changes a material, the energy is removed.

• Light cannot change a material.

What happens to energy when light does not change a material?

• If light does not change a material, the energy was not absorbed.

• If light does not change a material, the light does not have energy.

• If light does not change a material, the energy is removed.

• Light cannot change a material.

Why does light from the sun give us cancer when light from our flashlight does not?

• Because our genetic material can take in energy from the sun, but not the flashlight.

• Because sunlight pulls energy out from our genetic materials and the flashlight does not.

• Because the sun gives off a type of light that carries energy, and light from the flashlight does not.

• Because light from the sun carries heating molecules, and light for the flashlight does not.

Why does light from the sun change the thermal paper when light from our flashlight does not?

• Because the thermal paper can take in energy from the sun, but not the flashlight.

• Because sunlight pulls energy out from the thermal paper and the flashlight does not.

• Because the sun gives off a type of light that carries energy, and light from the flashlight does not.

• Because light from the sun carries thermal molecules, and light for the flashlight does not.

Why does UV light change the solar beads when light from our class does not?

• Because the solar beads can take in energy from the sun, but not the class lights.

• Because sunlight pulls energy out from the solar beads and the class lights does not.

• Because the sun gives off a type of light that carries energy, and light from the class does not.

• Because light from the sun carries color molecules, and light for the class does not.

Glue reflects ultraviolet. Glue transmits X-ray light. Which type of light is more likely to harden the glue?

• Neither type of light is likely to harden the glue because the glue does not take in energy from UV or X-ray light.

• 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.

• The X-ray light is more likely to harden the glue because the X-ray light can pull energy out when it passes through.

• The ultraviolet is more likely to harden the glue because the UV light can pull energy out when it bounces off.
