Mr. Eaton's Light Waves

If a car sits out in the sun every day for a long time, can light from the sun damage the car’s paint?

Responses

• 
  

• Yes. The paint can take in energy from the light, causing it to be damaged.

• No. Light can only change things by warming them up, so it cannot damage the car’s paint.

• No. Light is not a physical thing, so it cannot change physical things like paint

• Yes. Light from the sun can pull energy out of the paint, causing it to be damaged

A group of Scientist made an Infrared Light that has a wave with the largest amplitude ever made. The Scientist point it at a piece of quarts for 10 days straight. What would happen to that piece of quarts??

Use the evidence from the diagram to pick your claim.

• Claim 1.

  The quarts would take in energy from the infrared light and the quarts would explode

• Claim 2.

  The infrared light would pull energy out of the quarts causing it to disappear.

• Claim 3.

  Nothing. Because the quarts does not absorb the infrared light.

Wei saw a special type of plastic that would melt and become a liquid when it was placed in the sun, but it would not melt when placed under a desk lamp. Why does light from the sun melt the plastic when light from the desk lamp does not?

• Because the plastic can take in energy from the light from the sun but not from the light from the lamp.

  
  

• Because light from the sun carries heat molecules, and light from the desk lamp does not.

• Because light from the sun pulls energy out of the plastic, and light from the desk lamp does not.

• Because the sun gives off a type of light that carries energy, and light from the desk lamp does not.

5. There are different types of light that can change a material in different ways.

• True, different lights react with materials in different ways.

• False, there is only one type of light

• Ultra violet light does not change any type of material
