Amplify, Light Waves Ch 1 & 2

Front

What happens to rocks when they are exposed to certain types of light?

Back

Rocks can take in energy from the light, causing them to glow.

Front

Does a different amplitude affect the brightness or loudness of a wave?

Back

True. A different amplitude makes a wave brighter or dimmer, louder or softer.

Front

Which wave has the greatest amplitude: the blue wave or the red wave?

Back

The blue wave has the greatest amplitude.

Front

If an object appears green, what must it do?

Back

It must reflect green light.

Front

What does it mean to 'absorb' in the context of light?

Back

To take in energy from light.

Front

What is amplitude in relation to waves?

Back

Amplitude is the height of a wave, which determines its energy.

Front

What is the relationship between light and energy?

Back

Light can transfer energy to objects, causing changes such as glowing.

Front

What is reflection in terms of light?

Back

Reflection is when light bounces off an object.

Front

What is the difference between transmission and absorption of light?

Back

Transmission is when light passes through an object, while absorption is when light is taken in by the object.

Front

What color of light do objects that appear red reflect?

Back

Objects that appear red reflect red light.
