​What does the red light component of the spectrum represent?
the portion of white light with the highest wave frequencies
the portion of white light with the longest wavelengths
solar radiation that is not visible to humans
visible light that is most similar to gamma rays
​In the future, space scientists detect a new type of radiation that had not yet been documented. Which of the following statements about this new discovery is most accurate?
The new discovery strengthens our understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum because we have more information than we had previously
The new discovery weakens our current understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum because it means our previous understanding was incorrect
The new discovery means it is more likely that there are other undiscovered types of radiation that scientists have not yet found
The new discovery means that this undocumented type of radiation is a new phenomenon that did not previously exist

A student is listening to the radio. A dentist is taking a patient’s X-ray. What do the two forms of radiation have in common?
Before beginning her investigation, Zoe studies the relationship between frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic waves. How should Zoe describe this relationship in her notes?
Next, Zoe studies the energies of visible light, radio waves, and infrared light. She wants to rank the three types of waves in order of least energetic to most energetic. In what order should she list the three types of waves?
The effect that water droplets in the air have on sunlight is most similar to which of the following?
In which of these situations would a rainbow most likely be visible?
What event does the image illustrate?
 The image illustrates how light is affected when passing through liquids and gasses. Is sound affected the same way?
 Which of the following changes to the girl’s observation would most likely eliminate the illusion?
Keysha wants to know how light behaves when it interacts with different materials. She points the laser light at the flat side of the glass block and observes that the light bends when it moves from air into glass. Which of the following phenomena is responsible for this bending of light?
Keysha and Moises are taking a tour of a cavern system. Keysha runs 500 meters ahead of Moises as she explores. Keysha wants to show Moises something really interesting. What would be the most effective way to get Moises’s attention?
