Explanation:

When light energy is absorbed by an object, it gets converted to heat energy, increasing the object's temperature.

14. Which phenomenon allows us to see different colors in a rainbow?

Diffraction
Refraction
Interference
Reflection
Explanation:

The phenomenon of refraction of light through raindrops allows us to see different colors in a rainbow due to dispersion.

Red
Yellow
Green
Explanation:

Red light has the longest wavelength among the listed colors, which corresponds to lower energy.

16. Which color of light has the highest energy?

Blue light
Yellow light
Red light
Green light
Explanation:

Blue light has the shortest wavelength and highest energy among the given options.

17. Which type of energy is produced when light is converted into electricity?

Nuclear energy
Solar energy
Kinetic energy
Chemical energy
Explanation:

When light is converted into electricity through solar panels, it is harnessing solar energy.

18. What happens to light energy when it hits a mirror?

Reflected
Absorbed
Diffracted
Transmitted
Explanation:

When light hits a mirror, it bounces off and gets reflected.

19. Which of the following materials is transparent to light?

Wood
Glass
Metal
Paper
Explanation:

Glass is transparent to light, allowing it to pass through easily.

20. What is the primary source of light energy on Earth?

Sun
Stars
Fire
Electricity
Explanation:

The Sun is the primary source of light energy on Earth, providing heat and light.

21. Which of the following types of bulbs produce light energy by heating a filament wire?

LED bulb
Incandescent bulb

Fluorescent bulb
Explanation:

Incandescent bulbs produce light energy through the heating of a filament wire until it glows.

22. What color does a prism split white light into?

Blue, green, orange
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
Red, blue, yellow
Red, green, purple
Explanation:

A prism splits white light into the colors of the rainbow - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

23. Which of the following objects absorbs light energy?

White paper
Mirror
Black shirt
Glass
Explanation:

A black shirt absorbs more light energy compared to white paper or glass.

24. What is the unit of measurement for light intensity?

Celsius
Lumen
Watt
Decibel
Explanation:

Lumen is the unit of measurement for light intensity, indicating the total quantity of visible light emitted by a source.

25. Which of the following objects would best reflect light energy?

Matte paper
Polished mirror
Rough surface
Translucent glass
Explanation:

A polished mirror has a smooth surface that reflects light energy effectively compared to rough or matte surfaces.

26. Which of the following is a form of light energy?

Electric currents
Visible light
Heat waves
Sound waves
Explanation:

Visible light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, therefore it is a form of light energy.

27. What is the main source of light energy on Earth?

The Sun
Lanterns
City lights
Fires
Explanation:

The Sun is the primary source of light energy on Earth as it emits electromagnetic radiation in the form of sunlight.

28. Which of the following materials allows light energy to pass through easily?

Metal
Plastic
Wood
Glass
Explanation:

Glass is transparent and allows light energy to pass through easily, making it a commonly used material for windows.

29. What happens when light energy is absorbed by an object?

The object becomes warmer
The object becomes smaller
The object becomes lighter
The object becomes colder
Explanation:

When light energy is absorbed by an object, the energy is converted into heat, causing the object to become warmer.

30. Which color of light has the highest energy?

Blue
Green
Red
Yellow
Explanation:

Blue light has the highest energy because it has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency compared to other colors of light.
