Water, prisms, and mirrors all effect light. What is the difference between how these objects effect light?
Water and mirrors only reflect light while prisms refract light
Water and prisms reflect and refract light while mirrors reflect light
Water and prisms reflect light while mirrors refract light.
Water and prisms only refract light while mirrors reflect light.
Which statement correctly explains the relationship between wavelength and color of light?
As we move from red to violet, the wavelength lengthens, and there is no change in energy.
As we move from red to violet, the wavelength lengthens meaning there is less energy.
As we move from red to violet, the wavelength shortens, meaning there is more energy.
As we move from red to violet, the wavelength shortens, and there is no change in energy.
What makes an object appear red?
the object absorbs red wavelengths and refracts all others
the object refracts red wavelengths and reflects all others
the object reflects red wavelengths and absorbs all others
the object absorbs red wavelengths and reflects all others
Which picture shows reflection only
Mountain/Lake
Rainbow
Glass of water/straw
Which picture shows refraction only?
Mountain/Lake
Rainbow
Glass with water/straw
What does the rainbow show?
Refraction only
Reflection only
Both refraction and reflection
What is the difference between the different types of electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum?
The ability to reflect and therefore the wavelengths of the types of electromagnetic radiation are different.
The ability to transmit and therefore the wavelengths of the types of electromagnetic radiation are different.
The amount of energy and therefore the wavelengths of the types of electromagnetic radiation are different.
The amount of refraction and therefore the wavelengths of the types of electromagnetic radiation are different
A prism effects white light. How does a prism effect white light and why does this occur?
White light enters the prism. As the light exits, the prism absorbs the light and separates it into a display of colors.
White light enters the prism. As the light exits, the prism reflects the light and separates it into a display of colors.
White light enters the prism. As the light exits, the prism refracts the light and separates it into a display of colors.
White light enters the prism. As the light exits, the prism transmits the light and separates it into a display of colors.
Light passes through some objects partially. These objects are classified as _________ objects.
Absorbed
Transparent
Translucent
Opaque
Why do rainbows occur?
Sunlight enters a raindrop and absorbs light as it leaves the raindrop to create a rainbow.
Sunlight enters a raindrop and reflects light as it leaves the raindrop to create a rainbow.
Sunlight enters a raindrop and refracts light as it leaves the raindrop to create a rainbow.
Sunlight enters a raindrop and refracts light then reflects light as it leaves the raindrop to create a rainbow.
Explain why we see black and white as colors even though they are not part of the visible spectrum.
Black occurs when a material absorbs all of the light. There is no reflected light. White occurs when a material reflects all of the light. No light is absorbed.
Black occurs when a material absorbed all of the light. All light is reflected. White occurs when a material transmits all of the light. All light is absorbed.
Black occurs when a material reflects all of the light. There is no absorbed light. White occurs when a material absorbs all of the light. No light is reflected.
Black occurs when a material transmits all of the light. There is no absorbed light. White occurs when a material absorbed all of the light. No light is transmitted.
Materials that do not allow light to pass through at all are considered to be ________.
Absorbed
Translucent
Opaque
