Abigail is arranging colored ribbons for a school project. She needs to list the colors of the visible light spectrum in order from longest to shortest wavelength. Help her by choosing the correct order.

• red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet

• red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, pink

• red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, black

• red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, violet

Match the angles of incidence with the expected angles of reflection.

• Angle of incidence is 90 degrees

• Reflect back along the same path.

• Angle of incidence is 30 degrees

• Reflect at a 10° angle from the normal.

• Angle of Incidence 60 degrees

• Reflect at a 60° angle from the normal.

• Angle of incidence is 10 degrees

• Reflect at a 30° angle from the normal.

Match the terms about light with their descriptions.

• The color black is seen as a result of no reflected colors

• reflection

• An leaf looks green because all of the other colors are absorbed.

• refraction

• You can see through water, air and glass because light passes through these materials.

• transparent

• A spoon looks bent when placed in a glass of water

• law of reflection

• Light will always be reflected by a surface at the same angle at which it hits the surface

• absorption
