7th Grade Quiz : Light And ITs Properties - Quiz

  • 2. 

    A material through which objects can be seen clearly

    • Opaque

    • Transparent

    • Translucent

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Transparent
    Explanation
    Transparent materials are those through which light can pass easily, allowing objects to be seen clearly on the other side. These materials have a high degree of transparency, meaning they transmit light without scattering or absorbing it significantly. Examples of transparent materials include glass, water, and air.

    A material through which objects appear blurry

    • Opaque

    • Transparent

    • Translucent

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Translucent
    Explanation
    Translucent materials allow some light to pass through, but the light is scattered in different directions, causing objects to appear blurry. Unlike transparent materials, which allow light to pass through without scattering, and opaque materials, which do not allow any light to pass through, translucent materials strike a balance between the two, allowing some light transmission while still causing distortion and blurriness. Therefore, the correct answer is translucent.

    Electromagnetic waves with a wavelength shorter than a microwave and longer than light

    • Radio waves

    • Infrared waves

    • Ultraviolet waves

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Ultraviolet waves
    Explanation
    Ultraviolet waves have a shorter wavelength than microwaves and longer wavelength than light waves. They are a form of electromagnetic radiation that is invisible to the human eye. Ultraviolet waves have higher energy than visible light and can cause sunburn and skin damage. They are commonly used in sterilization processes and in medical and scientific applications.

    Which structure SENDS signals about what you see to the brain?

    • Lens

    • Retina

    • Cornea

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Retina
    Explanation
    The retina is the structure in the eye that sends signals about what you see to the brain. It contains specialized cells called photoreceptors that convert light into electrical signals. These signals are then transmitted through the optic nerve to the brain, where they are interpreted as visual information. The lens and cornea are responsible for focusing light onto the retina, but they do not directly send signals to the brain. Therefore, the correct answer is retina.

    Light is a _______________ wave.

    • Longitudinal

    • Electromagnetic

    • Mechanical

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Electromagnetic
    Explanation
    Light is a form of energy that travels in the form of waves. These waves are known as electromagnetic waves because they consist of both electric and magnetic fields oscillating perpendicular to each other. This is why light can travel through a vacuum, as it does not require a medium to propagate like mechanical waves. Therefore, the correct answer is electromagnetic.

    Electromagnetic waves with a slightly shorter wavelength and higher frequency than light

    • Infrared Waves

    • Ultraviolet Waves

    • Radio Waves

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Infrared Waves
    Explanation
    Infrared waves have a slightly shorter wavelength and higher frequency than light. They are a type of electromagnetic wave that falls between microwaves and visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared waves are commonly used in applications such as thermal imaging, remote controls, and communication systems. They are also responsible for the heat we feel from the sun and can be detected by specialized sensors or cameras.

    Low-frequency, low-energy electromagnetic waves with a wavelength longer than 30 cm

    • Radio Waves

    • Infrared Waves

    • Ultraviolet Waves

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Radio Waves
    Explanation
    Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with low frequency and low energy. They have a longer wavelength than 30 cm. These waves are commonly used for communication purposes, such as radio and television broadcasting. They are also used in radar systems and wireless communication devices. In contrast, infrared waves have a shorter wavelength and are used for applications such as heat sensing and remote controls. Ultraviolet waves have an even shorter wavelength and are known for their ability to cause sunburn and damage to skin cells. Therefore, the correct answer is radio waves.

  • 9. 

    The color of an opaque object is the color of light it

    • Reflects

    • Absorbs

    • Transmits

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Reflects
    Explanation
    When light falls on an opaque object, it is not able to pass through it. Instead, the object reflects certain wavelengths of light while absorbing others. The color that we perceive from the object is the color of light that it reflects. Therefore, the correct answer is "reflects".

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The intensity of light depends on

    • Wavelength

    • How much of it is absorbed

    • How much energy it has

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. How much energy it has
    Explanation
    The intensity of light is determined by how much energy it carries. This is because the intensity refers to the amount of power per unit area that the light wave carries. The more energy the light wave has, the greater its intensity will be. Therefore, the correct answer is "how much energy it has".
