A museum sets up a display of fluorescent minerals. Which best describes how electromagnetic waves can be used to enhance the display?

• Infrared light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off visible light.

• Visible light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off infrared light.

• Ultraviolet light shining on the minerals will cause them to give off visible light

If humans cannot see ultraviolet waves, how can ultraviolet light be used to gather evidence of a crime?

• Ultraviolet light detects the presence of radioactive substances.

• Ultraviolet light shows cold areas as blue and warm areas as red.

• Ultraviolet light causes substances to fluoresce and give off visible light.

An ultrasound tech is trying to identify an object, but the screen of the machine is broken. Which statement best describes this situation?

• The generated sound wave will not be able to reflect off of the object.

• The sound wave will not be generated, so there will be no echoes received.

• The echoes will be made but will not be able to be received by the machine.

• The machine will not be able to process the received echoes into images.
