1

The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?

48% Answer Correctly

90°

refractive index

focal point

angle of incidence


Solution

The law of reflection specifies how waves, including light waves, bounce off of surfaces. Specifically, the angle of incidence of the approaching wave is equal to the angle of reflection of the reflected wave as measured from a line perpendicular (90°) to the surface.


2

The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?

87% Answer Correctly

digestive

nervous

circulatory

reproductive


Solution

Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.


3

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?

63% Answer Correctly

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.


4

The heat from the Sun traveling to Earth is an example of which of the following?

85% Answer Correctly

convection

radiation

electricity

conduction


Solution

Radiation occurs when electromagnetic waves transmit heat. An example is the heat from the Sun as it travels to Earth.


5

What type of cloud is responsible for fog?

62% Answer Correctly

cirrus

stratus

cumulus

cumulonimbus


Solution

Clouds are categorized based on their shape, size, and altitude. Stratus clouds are low-altitude clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base. When stratus clouds occur on the ground the result is fog.
