Question

Ultraviolet radiation is harmless to humans

True

False

Infrared waves are not seen by the naked human eyes.

True

False

Diffraction phenomena only involve light rays.

True

False

The Light brightness is related with:

Certain angles of the light rays

Higher light intensities

Higher light frequencies

None of the above

During a total solar eclipse the Sun becomes black at certain spots on the Earth where the Moon shadow is found.

True

False

Light corresponds to a very wide range of frequencies in the Spectrum.

True

False

The Retina is at the back of the eye and represents the detector of light rays.

True

False

During the Superposition of two waves that are exactly one-half wavelength out of phase the waves should:

continue without changes

cancel each other

reinforce each other

None of the above

Blind Spots are three or four places of the Retina unable to detect light rays.

True

False

Different light colors correspond to:

Different wave velocities

Different wave amplitudes

Different frequencies

None of the above

Certain angles of the light rays

Higher light intensities

Higher light frequencies

None of the above

Explanation / Answer

a) True. Ultraviolet radiation is harmless to humans. UV can produce cancer cells.

b) Ture. Infrared waves cannot be seen by the naked human eyes. Like we cannot see the light coming out from hot iron rod.

c) False. Diffraction phenomena is involved with all types of waves. It is also observed in sound waves.

d) The correct option is Higher light intensities.

The more intense light will provide more brightness.
