| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Electromagnetic Wave | A transverse wave composed of an oscillating electric field and a magnetic field that oscillates perpendicular to the electric field. |
| The Law of Reflection | The angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. |
| Sound waves cause air to oscillate. Do light waves oscillate? | Light waves oscillate a magnetic field and an electric field. Each one oscillates perpendicular to the other, as well as perpendicular to the direction of travel. |
| Order the following colors in terms of increasing wavelength: orange, violet, green. In other words, list list the color corresponding to the smallest wavelength first, and end with the color that corresponds to the longest wavelength. | violet, green, yellow, orange |
| Which has longer wavelengths: ultraviolet rays or radio waves? | radio waves |
| Do radio waves have higher or lower frequencies than visible light? What about x-rays? | lower higher |
| Light is traveling in air and suddenly hits a glass window. Does the light speed up, slow down, or continue traveling at the same speed when it enters the glass? | slow down |
| In a physics experiment, a light ray is examined as it travels from air into glass. If the angle that the light ray makes with a line perpendicular to the glass surface is measured, will the refracted ray bend toward or away from that line? | toward |
| A t-shirt is dyed so that it looks violet. What colors of light does the dye absorb? | red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo |
| A cyan dye is made of a mixture of substances that absorb all light colors except blue and green. If you took a cyan piece of paper and placed it in a dark room and shined red light on it, what would you see? | Black |
