Quiz by April Francisco
Tag the questions with any skills you have. Your dashboard will track each student's mastery of each skill.
He proposed that light consists of a stream of small particles, because it travels in straight lines at great speeds and is reflected from mirrors in a predictable way.
Who is the English physicist believed that light was composed of waves.
A French scientist proposed that all matter and radiation have properties that resemble both a particle and a wave.
He postulated that light might actually have some particle characteristics, regardless of the overwhelming evidence for a wave-like nature.
According to this scientist, a small portion of each angled wave front should impact the second medium before the rest of the front reaches the interface.
It occurs when a transparent object allows light to pass through it.
It is a light phenomenon that happens when light shines through clouds that are composed of ice crystals.
When light interacts with atoms and molecules, they act like a stream of energy called photons or quanta.
In 1900, Max Planck was able to explain the spectrum of a “blackbody” radiator by assuming that light energy is quantized.
Constructive interference happens when two opposite parts of two waves meet for example a crest of one wave meets the trough of another wave which would result in the cancellation of the two waves.
When you try to look into the front part of the spoon, you will see a smaller and enlarge version of yourself.
Destructive interference happens when two identical parts of two waves meet such as a crest of one wave meets the crest of another wave of the same wavelength.
Primary rainbow is formed when light hits a raindrop, refracted and single reflection happens inside the raindrop.
Secondary rainbows are formed when light strikes small raindrops with almost the same size.
It is an optical phenomenon which creates a displaced image of an object due to refraction of light.
The separation of white light into its seven color components when there is a refraction or bending of light is called?
It is a light phenomenon formed from the combination of several light properties like refraction, reflection, and dispersion.
It happen due to the refraction of light upon hitting the small crystals that make up cirrus or cirrostratus clouds.
A _______ can either be a colored glass or cellophane that absorbs certain frequencies of visible light and transmits a particular color frequency that matches the filter's natural frequency.
__________are bright ring which can be colored or just plain white light formed around the sun or moon.
