Which best explains the relationship between sight, visible light, and the electromagnetic spectrum?
Visible light, light that humans can see, is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Visible light, light that humans can see, makes up the entire electromagnetic spectrum.
Visible light, light that humans can see, moves faster than the rest of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Visible light, light that humans can see, moves more slowly than the rest of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Suzanne is looking at an apple. Which best explains how she can see this object?
Light enters the eye before striking an object.
Light is absorbed by an object before it can reach the eye.
Light passes through an object before entering the eye.
Light reflects off of an object before entering the eye.
45s6.P.1.2 - Q5
The visible light spectrum can be subdivided according to

45s6.P.1.2 - Q6
How is the retina connected to the brain?
through the iris
through the lens
through the cornea
through the optic nerve
45s6.P.1.2 - Q7
What has most likely occurred if light travels into an object without bouncing off?
reflection
refraction
absorption
scattering
45s6.P.1.2 - Q8
Which statement best describes the relationship between the frequency and the wavelength of waves?
As wavelength changes, there is no change in frequency.
As frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter.
As wavelength decreases, the frequency remains the same.
As frequency increases, the wavelength gets longer.

black
white
45s6.P.1.2 - Q13
Why do plant leaves appear green when exposed to sunlight?
because most of the light they absorb is green
because sunlight is made up of every color of light except green light
because most of the light they reflect is green
because sunlight is only made up of green light
