Types of light
What type of light contains all these colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet?
Visible light
something you can see through clearly, like glass
Transparent
Photon
True or false, sound waves are faster than light waves.
False
Anything that has mass and takes up space or has volume.
Matter
a type of invisible light that is beyond the violet spectrum.
Ultraviolet
something that lets some light pass through, but you can't see through it clearly, like wax paper.
Translucent
the only type of light detected by the human eye.
Visible light
Sound needs this to travel.
A medium
the process by which plants change the energy in sunlight to kinds of energy that can be stored for later use
Photosynthesis
Infrared
Something that does not let any light pass through. You cannot see through it at all, like the wall.
Opaque.
When energy causes the material to change what type of behavior is happening with the light?
In sound waves amplitude determines
how loud the sound is
Scientist who studies light and how it interacts with certain materials.
Spectroscopist
types of waves that have low frequency and long wavelengths
Radio waves and or microwaves
When light changes direction as it passes through something at an angle.
Refract
Name the three main behaviors of light.
Transmit, reflect and absorb
In sound waves frequency refers to
pitch of the sound
FIber optics
types of waves that are used in medical imaging and radiation. High frequency and short wavelengths.
X-rays and gamma rays
when waves spread out or bend around obstacles or through small openings.
Diffract
Australia has the highest skin cancer rates in the world due to
Ozone depletion and or exposure to UV rays
When we hear sound our brain is interpreting these
A skin cell that prevents damage by absorbing UV light before it reaches the genetic material. More of it results in darker complextion, while less of it results in lighter complextion of skin.
Melanin
