The angle of reflection is equal to which the following?
focal point |
|
90° |
|
refractive index |
|
angle of incidence |
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.
Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from lowest to highest frequency?
visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves |
|
microwaves → radio waves → visible light |
|
infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light |
|
radio waves → visible light → gamma rays |
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.
The crust and upper mantle of the earth is called the:
lithosphere |
|
hydrosphere |
|
geosphere |
|
atmosphere |
The biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. This includes their interactions with the lithosphere (the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle), hydrosphere (all surface water), and atmosphere (the envelope of gases surrounding the planet).
Herbivores are __________ that subsist on producers like plants and fungus.
scavengers |
|
tertiary consumers |
|
primary consumers |
|
secondary consumers |
Primary consumers (herbivores) subsist on producers like plants and fungus. Examples are grasshoppers, cows, and plankton.
Stratus clouds are __________clouds characterized by horizontal layering with a broad flat base.
low-altitude |
|
high-altitude |
|
all-altitude |
|
mid-altitude |
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.
