Spectrum

a)

a band of colors, as seen in a rainbow, produced by separation of the components of light by their different degrees of contraction according to lights wavelength.

b)

a band of colors, as seen in a rainbow, produced by separation of the components of light by their different degrees of reflection according to lights wavelength.

c)

a band of colors, as seen in a rainbow, produced by separation of the components of light by their different degrees of refraction according to lights wavelength.

d)

a band of colors, as seen in a rainbow, produced by collision of the components of light by their different degrees of refraction according to lights wavelength.

5.

what happens in a light spectroscope

a)

light is focused into a thin beam of parallel rays by a lens, and then passed through a prism or diffraction grating that separates the waves into a frequency spectrum.

b)

light is focused into a beam of perpendicular rays by a lens, and then passed through a prism or diffraction grating that separates the light into a frequency spectrum.

c)

light is focused into a thin beam of parallel rays by a lens, and then passed through a solid or deflection grating that separates the light into a wave spectrum.

d)

light is focused into a thin beam of parallel rays by a lens, and then passed through a prism or diffraction grating that separates the light into a frequency spectrum.

b)

When a solid, gas or liquid is heated at high pressure,

c)

When a solid, gas or liquid is heated at high pressure and the light is passed through a cool gas,

d)

When a gas is heated at low pressure and the light is passed through a gas

8.

What is the doppler effect?

a)

defined as a noticeable change in the frequency of sound or light as the moving source approaches the still observer.

b)

defined as a noticeable change in the frequency of sound or light as the moving source passes the still observer.

c)

defined as a noticeable change in the frequency of sound or light as the still source passes the moving observer.

d)

defined as an unnoticeable change in the frequency of sound or light as the moving source passes the still observer.

9.

What is Parallax Technique

a)

a method of measuring distance indirectly by creating an imaginary triangle between an observer and an object whose distance is to be estimated.

b)

a method of measuring distance indirectly by creating an imaginary rectangle between an observer and an object whose distance is to be estimated.

c)

a method of measuring distance indirectly by creating a parallel imaginary between an observer and an object whose distance is to be estimated.
