What is the photoelectric effect

Apexvs.

Electrons are knocked off atoms, causing electricity to flow.

What are cones in the eye
What does hot air do

hot air rises.

How does a lenes work

a lens is a transparent material that refract slight in a particular way.

What causes light to refract when it hits a piece of glass

the light rays hit the piece of glass and the surface of the glass causes it to refract

How is a hot balloon lifted into the air

to make a hot air balloon rise you use hot air

Which central heating system involves a furnace and a blower

Forced air heating

What are the problems with the particle theory

Electromagnetic radiation sometimes behaves like waves - for example, interference.

What factor determines how much a particular color refracts as it passes threw a prism

wavelength

Which principle explains how fiber optics can transmit data in the form of light pulses over large distances with little loss in signal strength

Total internal reflection.

What does the term convex mean when one talks about convex lens

Convex is an adjective that describes something has a surface or boundary that curves or bulges outward. Convex lens are thicker at the center, they do cause light to converge.

Which is the most common use for infrared waves

Infrared light is even used to heat food sometimes - special lamps that emit thermal infrared waves are often used in fast food restaurants! Shorter, near infrared waves are not hot at all - in fact you cannot even feel them. These shorter wavelengths are the onesused by your TV's remote control.

Which defines the term image

a copy of an object formed by reflected or refracted waves of light .

The discovery of photons is an example of which aspect of electomagnetic radiation

The discovery itself is an example of the value of the scientific method, and has

nothing to do with any aspect of electromagnetic radiation. But the confirmed

existence of photons is an explanation of the particle behavior of that radiation.

Interference is a condition that occurs when .

Different waves arrive at a point at the same time.
