Radars can help meteorologists detect clouds and sailors detect submarines. Radars send out radio waves and record their echoes after the radio waves reflect off an object. Two radars send out radio waves with the same frequency. The first radar sends radio waves through the air. The second radar sends radio waves through the ocean. What is true about these radio waves?

• they are visible

• they have different speeds

• they are audible

What is happening at point C in the diagram above?

• the sun warms earth's surface through radiation

• the ground warms the atmosphere through conduction

• the air warms the ground through convection

• heat moves though the air due to convection

Energy travels through space as electromagnetic energy, which includes a range of types.  Which type of electromagnetic energy is made up of a spectrum of many different colors?

• Ultraviolet light

• infrared light

• visible light

• x rays

 Elijah observes a flower and sees that its color is yellow.  Which of the following describes why Elijah sees this color of the flower?
