What happens to the electrons in an object when light hits it?
Electrons increase in energy and jump up energy levels
Electrons get hyper and vibrate but don't move to new levels
Electrons decrease in energy and fall down energy levels
If a mirror or lens is not curved, it is called __________.
Flat
Frosted
Convex
Concave
What happens to the electrons in an object when light reflects off of it? They...
suck energy from the air to return to their original levels
fall down to original energy level, releasing light energy
vibrate in the same spot which sends waves of light out
What is interference?
When light blocks the path of a spaceship
When someone gets in your way
When light rays try to reflect but run into each other
When light rays try to refract but get lost in the medium
True or False: UV-B causes premature wrinkles and goes deep into your skin.
False (It's UV-A)
When light interacts with GLASS, what 3 things can occur? (see p 10 in guidebook)
Retransmission, Absorption, Reflection
Melting, Breaking, Shining
Refracting, Running, Interfering
On a flat mirror, what is the "incoming" ray and the "outgoing" ray?
Reflecting, incident
Long, short
Incident, reflecting
Refracting, Disappearing
What makes a rainbow show all the colors?
Light wavelengths act as projectors
Drops of water act as prisms
Dust particles act as refractors
Unicorns act as a rainbow horse army
What is it called when light bounces off an object, causing us to be able to see it?
Reflection
Interference
Refraction
Projection
Choose the best statement about how light affects our ability to see objects.
Light is merely an illusion; you are seeing brain impulses.
Light has to reflect off objects & physically enter our eyes
Light has to refract through glass first, then enter our eye
Light only flows directly from the sun into our eyes.
Light passes through glass because the molecules vibrate & pass those vibrations to neighboring atoms through the substance. This is called:
Reflection
Absorption
Retransmission
The _______________ wants everything to be the same and is surprised when everything is different
Chemist
Physicist
What is refraction?
Light is really pretty but too bright to look at
Light is bent from its normal course but isn't reflected
Light is projected from a source but is not visible
In Greek, the word “Physics” literally means
Motion and matter
The study of movement
Nature
Forces and energy
Why is the sky blue?
Smaller blue light waves scatter off gas and dust particles
Ice particles high in the atmosphere look blue- they're cold
Ocean water reflects its blue color up to the atmosphere
Because God likes the color blue the best.
