True or False? All of an element's spectral lines must match up to the spectral lines of a star in order for that element to be present.

True

100

Which subatomic particle exists in energy levels and can jump from one level to another?

electron

100

Blue light is observed. What is its most likely wavelength? 

470 nm

100

A light ray strikes a mirror at an angle of 25o. What is the angle of reflection?

25o

100

True or false? If the incident ray is not on an angle, there is no reflection or refraction.

True

200
What does spectroscopy tell us about stars?

The elements present in the star.

200

Which jump would RELEASE the most amount of energy?

A

200

Compared to x-rays, infrared light has a _______ wavelength.

Longer

200

When we observe an object in a cup of water, why does the object appear to be at a different position than it really is.

Refraction bends the light in the cup of water

200

What is the law of reflection?

Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection

300

Why does each element produce its own unique pattern of spectral lines?

The energy levels in the atom of each element is unique (different distances between them = different energy released)

300

An electron releases blue light, while another releases red light. Which light is produced by a larger energy-level drop?

Blue

300

Scientists use different types of waves to see different details of space. A new telescope can use three types of waves that all have less energy than visible light. Which types of waves does this telescope use?

Radio waves, microwaves, infrared

300

Which direction is light refracted when it travels from glass to air?

Away from the normal

300

Which wave has more energy?

Wave 1

400

A student compares a star to the hydrogen reference. Two of hydrogen’s three spectral lines match the star. What should the student conclude?

Hydrogen is not present in the star

400

What color of light is most likely to be released when an electron releases a large amount of energy when it falls to a lower energy level.

Violet, purple, or blue

400

When the frequency of a wave is increased, what happens to its wavelength?

It decreases

400
How does the density of the medium affect the speed of light that travels through it?

The more dense, the slower it travels. The less dense, the faster it travels.

400

When light strikes the boundary between two different materials, some light reflects. What happens to the light that enters the second material at an angle?

It is refracted

500

Which gases are present in the unknown mixture?

Gas A & D

500

An electron falls from energy level 5 to energy level 4. Describe the wave (energy, frequency, wavelength) that is released from this fall.

Low energy, long wavelength, low frequency

500

Draw a wave with a higher frequency than the provided wave.

500

Draw the reflected ray, no refraction line, & refracted ray.

What are Mrs. Jorge's dogs' names?

Bruno & Beni
