What does Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity say about the speed of light?

• That nothing with mass can travel slower than the speed of light.
• That nothing with mass can travel fasterthan the speed of light.
• That nothing with mass can travel side by side at the speed of light.

Light is traveling through water and suddenly breaks the surface and travels through air. Did light's speed increase, decrease, or stay the same once it left the water?

• increase
• decrease
• stayed the same

Order the following colors in terms of increasing wavelength: orange, violet, yellow, green. In other words, list the color corresponding to the smallest wavelength first, and end with the color that corresponds to the longest wavelength.

• green, yellow, and orange, violet
• violet, yellow, orange, and green
• violet, green, yellow and orange
• orange, violet, green, and yellow

Order the colors in problem 6 in terms of increasing frequency. Once again, start with the lowest frequency and end with the highest frequency.

• violet, yellow, green, and orange
• orange, yellow, green, and violet
• yellow, orange, green, and violet
• green, orange, yellow, and violet
