what is Prism?
A piece of glass or plastic that bends light waves splitting the visible light into all of the spectrum.
What is the difference between concave and convex lenses?
Concave means hollowed out or rounded inward, and convex means curved or rounded outwards.
What has the ability to be absorbed?
Light has the ability to be absorbed.
When a force acts on an object, what will the object begin to do?
the object will begin to accelerate.
What is the relationship between gravity and mass?
The more mass an object has, the stronger the gravitational pull. The less mass something has, the less gravitational pull it will have.
How is the kaleidoscope the same as a prism?
What does the magnifying lens do? What kind of lens is it?
Magnifying glasses make objects appear larger. These are convex lenses.
What is the absorbed light converted to?
The absorbed light is converted to energy.
The greater the mass of an object, the less force will need to be applied in order for it to accelerate.
True or false?
False.
What is kinetic energy?
the energy which a body possesses by being in motion.
When you passed the light to the prism, did you see how the colors separate?
White light when passed into a prism, we see the seven bands of colors emerging out of the prism.
What does the convex lens do?
Convex lenses are used in eyeglasses for correcting farsightedness.
What type of energy is the absorbed light converted to?
Thermal or heat energy.
The less the mass of an object, the less force will need to be applied in order for it to accelerate. True or false?
True.
When does an object have the most potential energy?
The amount of gravitational potential energy an object has depends on its height and mass. The heavier the object and the higher it is above the ground, the more gravitational potential energy it holds.
How do we see colors?
All colors that we see are reflected in our eyes. All colors that we do not see are absorbed.
How does the eye work?
when light hits the retina, special cells called photoreceptors turn the light into electrical signals.
Are all living objects capable of absorbing light?
Yes.
What is Newton's second law of motion?
Newton’s Second Law of Motion states that when a force acts on an object, the object will begin to accelerate in speed. The greater the mass of an object, the more force will need to be applied in order for it to accelerate.
When does an object have more kinetic energy?
The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has. So when the object is moving at its fastest, it has the most kinetic energy.
What happens when light is separated into different colors?
The different colors correspond to light with different wavelengths and are refracted to differing degrees.
what are the similarities between concave and convex?
Both converge parallel rays to a focal point and have positive focal lengths and forms.
What color absorbs the most light?
The color black absorbs the most light.
If there is no force acting upon an object, what will its state be?
It will be at a still state.
What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy has a direct relationship with mass, meaning that as mass increases so does the Kinetic Energy of an object.
