Based on the information in the table, which type of light is more likely to heat up the sheet of aluminum?
The X-ray light is more likely to heat up the aluminum because the X-ray light can pull energy out of the aluminum when it passes through the aluminum.
The ultraviolet light is more likely to heat up the aluminum because the ultraviolet light bounces off the aluminum, which means that it has more energy.
There is no way to know because they are two different types of light, and different types of light can change a material in different ways.
Both types of light are equally likely to heat up the aluminum because they both interact with the aluminum.
Why is neither X-ray light nor ultraviolet light likely to heat up aluminum?
Because aluminum reflects all types of light.
Because aluminum does not take in energy from either X-ray light or ultraviolet light.
Because aluminum absorbs energy only from visible light.
Because aluminum is a poor conductor of heat.
These graphs show the wavelength and amplitude of light coming from three lasers. Could any of these lasers be giving off a different type of light?
Yes. Laser 2 is giving off a different type of light because Laser 2 has a different wavelength than Lasers 1 and 3.
Yes. Laser 3 is giving off a different type of light because Laser 3 has a different amplitude than Lasers 1 and 2.
Yes. All three lasers must be giving off different types of light because every light source gives off its own type of light.
No. All three lasers must be giving off the same type of light because all three are lasers, and the same kind of light source gives off the same type of light.
Your friends say that they saw a special nail polish that changes color when it is out in the sun. Can light from the sun cause the nail polish to change color?
No. Light is not a physical thing, so it cannot change physical things like nail polish.
Yes. Light from the sun can pull energy out of the nail polish, causing it to change color.
Yes. The nail polish can take in energy from the light, causing it to change color.
No. Light can only change things by warming them up, so it cannot cause the nail polish to change color.
Based on the information provided in the table, which type of light is more likely to dry out the sunscreen?
The ultraviolet light is more likely to dry out the sunscreen because the ultraviolet light bounces off of the sunscreen, which means that it has more energy.
The X-ray light is more likely to dry out the sunscreen because the X-ray light can pull energy out of the sunscreen when it passes through the sunscreen.
There is no way to know because they are two different types of light, and different types of light can change a material in different ways.
Neither type of light is likely to dry out the sunscreen because the sunscreen does not take in energy from either the ultraviolet light or the X-ray light.
Based on the information in the table, can light change the mystery material?
Yes, but the mystery material can change in only one way, such as by getting warm, because all the light that a material absorbs will affect that material in the same way.
Yes, and the mystery material can change in one or two different ways, such as by getting warm and/or changing color, because different types of light can cause different changes to a material when they are absorbed.
No. The mystery material can’t change because light is not a physical thing. Light cannot change physical things like the mystery material.
There is no way to know whether the mystery material will change or not.
Based on the information in the table, which type of light can cause the paper to change color?
The infrared light can cause the paper to change color.
The X-ray light can cause the paper to change color.
The ultraviolet light can cause the paper to change color.
Any of these types of light can cause the paper to change color, because all light carries energy that can cause materials to change.
These graphs show the wavelength and amplitude of light coming from three lasers. Could any of these lasers be giving off different types of light?
No. All three lasers must be giving off the same type of light because all three are lasers, and the same kind of light source gives off the same type of light.
Yes. Laser 3 is giving off a different type of light because Laser 3 has a different wavelength than Lasers 1 and 2.
Yes. Laser 2 is giving off a different type of light because Laser 2 has a different amplitude than Lasers 1 and 3.
Yes. All three lasers must be giving off different types of light because every light source gives off its own type of light.
Your friend says that he heard about some rocks that would glow when they were put under a certain kind of light. Can light cause rocks to glow?
No. Light is not a physical thing, so it cannot change physical things like rocks.
No. Light can only change things by warming them up, so it cannot cause the rocks to glow.
Yes. Light can pull energy out of the rocks, causing them to glow.
Yes. Rocks can take in energy from the light, causing them to glow.
Paintings in museums have to be kept away from ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light will cause the paint to fade, but the overhead lamps in a museum won’t cause the paint to fade. Why does the ultraviolet light cause the paint to fade when light from the overhead lamps does not?
Because ultraviolet light pulls energy out of the paint, and light from the overhead lamps does not.
Because ultraviolet light carries energy, and light from the overhead lamps does not.
Because the paint can take in energy from ultraviolet light but not from the light from the overhead lamps.
Because ultraviolet light carries heat molecules, and light from the overhead lamps does not.
Based on the information provided, which type of light can cause the marbles to get warm?
The X-ray light can cause the marbles to get warm.
The infrared light can cause the marbles to get warm.
The red light can cause the marbles to get warm.
Any of these types of light can cause the marbles to get warm, because all light carries energy that can cause materials to change.
Does it matter what type of light shines on the metal if you want it to get warm? Why?
Yes, because only absorbed light (like infrared) can transfer energy as heat to the metal
No, all types of light will heat the metal equally
Yes, because reflected light heats the metal most
No, only visible light affects the temperature
Which type of light is absorbed by the butterfly’s wings according to the passage?
Ultraviolet light
Red light
Green light
Blue light
What happens to red light when it interacts with the butterfly’s wings?
It is absorbed
It is transmitted
It is reflected
It is refracted
