What determines what color of light your eyes perceive?

• The frequency of the wave

• The amplitude of the wave

• The intensity of the wave

• The type of wave it is

Isaac Newton found that sunlight is a mix of different wavelengths Which evidence supports this?

• light is white.

• light is found all over the universe

• light separates into colors in a prism

• light can travel very rapidly through space

2 men did an experiment timing how long it took light to travel from one lighthouse to another. The experiment failed, why?

• Light cannot be measured as it travels in Earth’s atmosphere

• Light travels too fast for a clock to measure in a short distance

• A clock will slow down when traveling at the speed of light.

• A clock cannot be used unless Earth’s rotation is included in the calculations

A wave is traveling in one medium. Then it begins traveling through another medium and changes direction. What happened?

• The wave was absorbed

• The wave was transmitted

• The wave was refracted

• The wave was reflected
