Amplify Light Waves Review

Front

What type of laser light is capable of cutting silicone?

Back

The carbon dioxide laser can cut a hole in silicone.

Front

Can sunlight make special ink visible?

Back

Yes, the ink can take in energy from sunlight, causing it to become visible.

Front

What type of light can cause glass to melt?

Back

Infrared light can cause glass to melt.

Front

Why does calcite glow under ultraviolet light but not under a desk lamp?

Back

Calcite can take in energy from ultraviolet light but not from the light from the desk lamp.

Front

Can light cause glue to dry?

Back

Yes, the glue can take in energy from the light, causing it to dry.

Front

What is the principle behind a carbon dioxide laser's ability to cut materials?

Back

The carbon dioxide laser emits light at a wavelength that is absorbed by certain materials, allowing it to cut through them.

Front

What is the role of energy absorption in making special inks visible?

Back

Special inks absorb energy from light, which triggers a chemical reaction that makes them visible.

Front

How does infrared light affect materials differently than visible light?

Back

Infrared light has longer wavelengths and can transfer more energy to certain materials, causing effects like melting.

Front

What is fluorescence in relation to calcite and ultraviolet light?

Back

Fluorescence is the process where a material absorbs light at one wavelength and re-emits it at a longer wavelength, causing it to glow.

Front

What type of light is typically used to cure special glues?

Back

Ultraviolet (UV) light is often used to cure special glues.
