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. Based on this information, which type of light is more likely to heat up the sheet of 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.

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 is giving off a different type of light because Laser 2 has a different wavelength than Lasers 1 and 3.

• Yes. Laser 3 is 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.

Ana wonders how light can affect a mystery material. The table below shows what happens when different types of light hit the mystery material. Based on this information, can light change the mystery material?

• Yes, but the mystery material can change in only one way, such as by getting warm, because all the light that a material absorbs will affect that material in the same way.

• Yes, and the mystery material can change in one or two different ways, such as by getting warm and/or changing color, because different types of light can cause different changes to a material when they are absorbed.

• No. The mystery material can’t change because light is not a physical thing. Light cannot change physical things like the mystery material.

• There is no way to know whether the mystery material will change or not.

Aniyah has a special type of paper that can permanently change color. She wonders whether light can cause the paper’s color to change. The table below shows what happens when different types of light hit the paper.
Based on this information, which type of light can cause the paper to change color?

• The infrared light can cause the paper to change color.

• The X-ray light can cause the paper to change color.

• The ultraviolet light can cause the paper to change color.

• Any of these types of light can cause the paper to change color because all light carries energy that can cause materials to change.

Shanika has some red marbles. She notices that sometimes the marbles get warm after being exposed to light. She wonders what type of light can cause the marbles to get warm. The table below shows what happens when different types of light hit the marbles. Based on this information, which of these types of light can cause the marbles to get warm?

• The X-ray light can cause the marbles to get warm.

• The infrared light can cause the marbles to get warm.

• The red light can cause the marbles to get warm.

• Any of these types of light can cause the marbles to get warm, because all light carries energy that can cause materials to change.
