*B) green glass. *

Light shines on a pane of green glass and a pane of clear glass. The temperature will be higher in the A) clear glass. B) green glass. C) Neither - it will be the same in each.

*D) magenta, cyan, yellow, and black.*

Look at a full-color picture in a magazine with a magnifying glass and you'll see that the inks used are A) red, green, and blue. B) red, green, blue, and black. C) magenta, cyan, and yellow. D) magenta, cyan, yellow, and black. E) none of these

*A) red and blue light.*

Magenta light is really a mixture of A) red and blue light. B) red and cyan light. C) red and yellow light. D) yellow and green light. E) none of these

*Absorption*

Most things we see do not produce light themselves. Instead they reflect or transmit part of the light that shines on them. The rest of the light is absorbed.

*Complementary Colors *

Red + Blue = Magenta Red + Green = Yellow Blue + Green = Cyan

*D) survive being scattered in the air. *

Red sunsets are due to lower frequencies of light that A) are scattered from larger particles in the air. B) are refracted from larger particles in the air. C) are reflected by clouds and relatively large particles in the air. D) survive being scattered in the air. E) appear reddish orange to the eye.

*yellow-green.*

The brightest color emitted by the sun is violet. yellow-green. red. green-blue. orange.

*reflected.*

The color of an opaque object is the same as the light that is transmitted. reflected. absorbed. all of these none of these

*B) red, blue, green. *

The colored dots that make up the color on a TV screen are A) magenta, cyan, yellow. B) red, blue, green. C) yellow, blue, green. D) red, green, yellow. E) red, blue, yellow.

*C) yellow.*

The complementary color of blue is A) red. B) green. C) yellow. D) cyan. E) magenta.

*A) refraction of sunsets and sunrises all around the world. *

The redness of the lunar eclipse is evidence for the A) refraction of sunsets and sunrises all around the world. B) infrared light continually emitted by the moon. C) scattering of lower frequencies of light by the moon. D) faintly radiating atoms in our own atmosphere when sunlight is not incident upon them. E) dim light that is incident upon the moon by Jupiter and other planets.

* resonators which scatter blue light. *

The sky is blue because air molecules in the sky act as tiny A) mirrors which reflect only blue light. B) resonators which scatter blue light. C) sources of white light. D) prisms. E) none of these

*C) just after a rainstorm. *

The sky is the deepest blue A) just before a rainstorm. B) during a rainstorm. C) just after a rainstorm. D) when the air is humid. E) just before sunset.

The whiteness of clouds is evidence in the clouds for a variety of A) water droplet sizes. B) molecules. C) "seeds" upon which condensation of cloud material forms. D) light intensities. E) water prisms.

*blue*

What color light is transmitted by a piece of blue glass? red white orange blue yellow

*absorbed.*

When the frequency of light matches the natural frequency of molecules in a material, light is transmitted. absorbed. reflected. none of these

*White light*

White light all three primary colors gives you

*White paint *

White paint No pigment produces

*How does colored light mix*

additive color mixing

Paint Pigments

are tiny particles that absorb specific colors

*complementary color*

for any given color on the color wheel, the color exactly opposite it is called it's complementary color

*subtractive color mixing *

involves pigments like those in paint or ink. The primary colors for Paint are cyan, yellow, and magenta or CYM.

Black paint

mix all three colors: cyan, yellow, and magenta or CYM. and you get

*additive color mixing*

nvolves mixing different colors of Light. Specifically, red, green, and blue or RGB.

*black*

the absence of light

*secondary light colors*

what you get when you combine two primary colors. yellow, magenta, and cyan
