Acronym for the colors of the spectrum
What is ROYGBIV
100
when light or sound waves bounce off an obstacle
What is reflection?
100
The three subtractive primary colors:
What are cyan, magenta, yellow?
100
This person concluded that a beam of light behaved the same as a stream of particles that all moved in the same direction. He was the first person to perform serious scientific investigations of light.
Who is Sir Isaac Newton?
100
The name for storm clouds or dark thunderheads.
cumulonimbus
200
Light has this type of "nature"
what is a dual nature--part photon Package, part wave
200
When light bends in response to its change in speed as it enters another obstacle.
What is refraction?
200
The three types of cells in the eye and three basic colors the eye can perceive...
What are the "additive primary colors?"
200
The Dutch mathematician and physicist Christian Huygens found that light traveled differently than what was originally thought. His theory.
What is the wave theory?
200
The chemical formula for table salt
NaCl
300
What happens to the speed of light when it suddenly hits a lake?
What is "it will slow down"
300
Light reflects off of objects and enters our eyes, our eyes detect the light and send signals to our brain which forms an image in our brain.
What is sight?
300
The eye compensates for differing images by this process and by this particular body part --much like a photographer turns and adjusts the position of the lens to create a sharply focused picture.
What is, "The lens shape is changed temporarily by the ciliary muscle by the eye?"
300
This theory of light indicates that light travels in tiny packets of waves.
What is the quantum-mechanical theory of light?
300
The term for how quickly and in what direction an object is moving.
What is velocity?
400
What is figure B?
400
A transparent object which focuses light rays to a single point.
DAILY DOUBLE!!! Where this occurs in the body.
What is a convergent lens?
Daily double answer: Where is "In the lens of the eye"
400
The Light sensitive cells in the retina send electrical messages down the optic nerve to the brain.
What are the rods and cones?
400
Nothing with mass can travel faster than 300,000,000 meters per second.
What is the special theory of Relativity?
400
Where jets and airplanes fly in the atmosphere
What is the Troposphere?
500
Without looking, order the following colors in terms of increasing frequency:
yellow, indigo, red, green.
What is Red, yellow, green, indigo. ***Remember, the longer the wavelength the lower the frequency. Red has the longest wavelength, and violet has the shortest.
500
How lenses work.
What is their curvature?
500
The way we perceive color is based on...
What is The frequency of the light that hits our eyes.
500
Einstein's theory of what causes the gravitational force. Space bends in the presence of an object with mass.
What is the general theory of relativity?
500
One of the most important concepts in all of physics regarding motion.
(hint: reference point)
What is All motion is relative? (p.204 in textbook)
