Sunlight is composed of energy that is visible to humans and energy that is not visible to humans. Which statement describes how the visible energy from the Sun is different from the non-visible energy?
It travels at a different speed through space.
It travels a different distance through space
It has different wavelengths.
It has different amplitudes.
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum. However, different kinds of electromagnetic waves have different wavelengths. For example, microwaves have longer wavelengths than visible light. How is it possible for both microwaves and visible light to travel at the same speed in a vacuum if they have different wavelengths?
Microwaves and visible light have the same energy.
Microwaves and visible light have different frequencies.
The waves of visible light have less energy than microwaves,
The distance between a point on one wave to the identical point on the next wave is the same for both microwaves and visible light.
Put the visible light colors in order from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength
Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Orange, Yellow, Red
Red, Yellow, Green, Orange, Violet, Blue, Indigo

Heather puts a straw into a glass of water. She notices that when she looks through the glass and the water from the side, the straw appears to be broken. Which term best explains why the straw looks like it is broken?
Absorption
Refraction
Scattering
Transmission
The energy generated by the sun travels to Earth as EM waves. Because the radiation from the sun travels to Earth in varying wavelengths, scientists consider them to be a spectrum. Which statement describes an EM wave with a long wavelength.
It has a high frequency and low energy
It has a high frequency and high energy
It has a low frequency and can travel through a vacuum
It has a low frequency and needs a medium to travel through.
This diagram best shows __________.
Refraction
Absorption
Reflection
High Frequency
Kana shines a blue and red light onto a blue piece of paper. What color of light bounce off the paper?
Only red
Only blue
Both red and blue
Neither red nor blue
Habib looks around his classroom at different objects. Which object reflects almost all of the light that strikes it?
White poster board
Clear window glass
Bright overhead light
Black construction paper
Sonia tapped one end of a long wooden table. Sanjay and Marc listened for the sounds. Sanjay pressed his ear to the table and heard the taps that seemed louder than the taps that Marc heard. Why?
More energy reached Sanjay's ear than Marc's ear.
Particles of wood are farther apart than particles of air.
Sound travels through air and wood at different speeds.
The taps only made the table vibrate, they did not make the air vibrate.
Ava covers a flashlight with a piece of thick, black paper. Why doesn't she see the light when she turns on the flashlight?
The paper absorbs most of the light
The paper refracts most of the light
The paper reflects most of the light
The paper transmits most of the light
