29. Your friends say that they saw a special nail polish that changes color when it is out in the sun. Can light from the sun cause the nail polish to change color?

c. Yes. The nail polish can take in energy from the light, causing it to change color.

a. No. Light is not a physical thing, so it cannot change physical things like nail polish.

b. Yes. Light from the sun can pull energy out of the nail polish, causing it to change color.

d. No. Light can only change things by warming them up, so it cannot cause the nail polish to change color.

30. Paintings in museums have to be kept away from ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light will cause the paint to fade, but the overhead lamps in a museum won’t cause the paint to fade. Why does the ultraviolet light cause the paint to fade when light from the overhead lamps does not?

c. Because the paint can take in energy from ultraviolet light but not from the light from the overhead lamps.

a. Because ultraviolet light pulls energy out of the paint, and light from the overhead lamps does not.

b. Because ultraviolet light carries energy, and light from the overhead lamps does not.

d. Because ultraviolet light carries heat molecules, and light from the overhead lamps does not.

31. 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.

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

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

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

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

32. 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?

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

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

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

d. 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.

33. Jayden says that the dentist can shine a special light on his teeth that will make his teeth become whiter. Can light change Jayden’s teeth?

a. Yes. Jayden’s teeth can take in energy from the light, causing them to become whiter.

b. Yes. Light can pull energy out of Jayden’s teeth, causing them to become whiter.

c. No. Light can only change things by warming them up, so it cannot cause Jayden’s teeth to become whiter.

d. No. Light is not a physical thing, so it cannot change physical things like teeth.

34. Your friend says that he heard about some rocks that would glow when they were put under a certain kind of light. Can light cause rocks to glow?

d. Yes. Rocks can take in energy from the light, causing them to glow.

a. No. Light is not a physical thing, so it cannot change physical things like rocks.

b. No. Light can only change things by warming them up, so it cannot cause the rocks to glow.

c. Yes. Light can pull energy out of the rocks, causing them to glow.

35. Aniyah has a special type of paper that can permanently change color. She wonders whether light can cause the paper’s color to change.
