b)

Ethan's finger was originally at the same temperature as the sink.

c)

Heat energy flows from the metal sink to Ethan's finger.

d)

Heat energy flows from Ethan's finger to the metal sink.

5.

Isla, Maya, and Abigail are having a heated debate about the wave nature of light. They all agree on most points, but there's one thing they can't agree on. Can you help them out? Which of the following CANNOT be explained by the wave nature of light?

a)

Isla thinks it's reflection

b)

Maya argues it's diffraction

c)

Abigail is sure it's the photoelectric effect

d)

Or is it interference patterns?

6.

Imagine Sophia, Maya, and Avery are at a rock concert. The band on stage is moving further away while playing their instruments. How would the sound waves received by Sophia, Maya, and Avery compare with those emitted by the band?

a)

They would hear the music as having a greater velocity.

b)

They would hear the music as having a higher frequency.

c)

They would hear the music as having a lower frequency.

d)

They would hear the music as having a smaller wavelength.

7.

It's a sunny but cool day. Mia, Kai, and Priya are planning to go out for a picnic. They all have T-shirts in four different colors: Black, Pink, White, Yellow. Mia suggests that they all wear black T-shirts. She explains that black will absorb more of the sun's light than the other colors, helping them stay warm. Which property of light is Mia referring to?

a)

Absorption

b)

Brightness

c)

Reflection

d)

Refraction
