What does light carry that can cause materials to change?
Mass
Sound
Energy
Air pressure
When light hits a material, what can happen to the light?
It disappears
It can be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected
It becomes sound
It breaks into pieces
What happens when a material absorbs energy from light?
The material gets colder
The material changes
Light speeds up
The material becomes transparent
A light source can emit:
Only one type of light
No energy
More than one type of light
Only visible light
Which term means “to take in energy”?
Absorb
Emit
Transmit
Reflect
Which term means “to give off energy”?
Visualize
Emit
Transmit
Absorb
Which term describes light passing through a material?
Reflect
Absorb
Transmit
Emit
When light is transmitted through a material, the material’s energy:
Is increased
Is decreased
Is not changed
Is transformed
A material reflects or transmits:
All types of light equally
Only visible light
Some types of light and not others
Light only when heated
What is wavelength?
The speed of sound
The distance between waves
The color of light
The size of the material
UV light causes more change in skin than visible light because:
UV light has longer wavelengths
UV light has more energy
Visible light is stronger
UV light cannot be absorbed
Which is NOT something that can happen when light hits a material?
Reflection
Absorption
What do scientists use to visualize waves?
Sound recordings
Models and diagrams
Smell tests
Taste samples
Which statement is true?
All materials absorb all types of light
Materials absorb energy from only some types of light
Materials only transmit UV light
Only visible light carries energy
If a material absorbs energy from some light but not others, this explains why:
Light bends randomly
Objects are seen as different colors
Light slows down
Shadows disappear
Which is an example of light causing a change in matter?
A. A ball bouncing
B. Skin reddening from UV exposure
C. A rock sitting still
D. Someone speaking
What allows scientists to track how energy moves?
Measuring light’s color
Observing changes in matter
Guessing
Measuring sound waves
