Q

How do rainbows from after/during rain?

A
  1. Refraction from sky to water droplets
  2. Internal reflection
  3. Dispersion and refraction
    ##footnote## yiu have to be behind the sun to see the rainbow cuz of reflection of internal reflection in water droplets

Q

What happens to white light when you put a magenta filter and a cyan filter after each other?

A

Magenta is transmitted after white light passes through 1st filter. Then magenta(blue+red) passes through cyan(green+blue) filter. Blue is end product.

25
How are they detected? (Sound and light)
Sound==> ears and microphones Light==> eyes and cameras
26
Can it be reflected? (Light and sound)
Yes (echoes and mirrors)
27
Can it be refracted? (Light and sound)
Yes
28
Which is faster? (Sound and light)
Light
29
What material is need for regular/irregular reflection to occur?
Plane mirror for regular reflection. Nonplane for irregular reflections
30
What is a spectrum?
Range of colours in white light
31
What is the meaning of primary colours of light?
Colours that cannot be made by mixing any other colours of light
32
What is the difference between primary colours of light and primary colours?
The colours of light mix differently than the colours in paint
33
How many colours maximum can a phone/device show?
256
34
Difference between transmitted and reflected?
Transmitted is when it's a filter so light passes through the medium. Reflected is used when an object is shown to have this colour
35
What makes things look differently colour wise
According to what they absorb and reflect
36
What happens when an object doesn't have any colours of light reflected?
It appears black
37
What happens when blue and red filters are put after each other
No light is transmitted
38
Why does a white t-shirt appear red in red light?
White t-shirt reflects red light
39
Why does a red ball appear red in white light?
It absorbs all 6 colours and reflects only red, thus appearing as red object
40
What is a rule in reflection? (Diagrams)
Angle of incidence= Angle of reflection
41
Which is bigger? (Galaxy or universe)
Universe
42
What is the meaning of universe?
Space and everything in it
43
What is the meaning of Galaxy?
Group of stars bound together by gravity
44
What is one factor that gravity is affected by?
Mass increase
45
What is stellar dust?
Dust found in space
46
What are the three types of Galaxies?
Spiral, elliptical, irregular
47
What is our Galaxy called? What type is it?
Milky way. It is spiral.
48
What is the closest Galaxy to us called? What type is it?
Canus major dwarf. Elliptical.
49
How many galaxies are there approximately?
100-200 million
50
Why are the stars that we see in the milky way?
Closest to earth
51
How much of our Galaxy can we see?
One arm of the spiral
52
How does our Galaxy look like?
A milky band
53
Why can't we know accurately the number of stars in our Galaxy?
We can't see all of them
54
How much stars are there in our galaxy?
250 million stars approximately
55
What is definition of asteroids?
Small, rocky, irregularly shaped objects that orbit the sun
56
What are asteroid belts?
Place where asteroids orbit
57
Where do asteroids come from?
Leftovers from formation of solar system
58
Where's the asteroid belt?
Between Mars and Jupiter
59
What is the largest asteroid discovered yet?
Ceres
60
What is the smallest asteroid yet?
Itokawa
61
How might some asteroids change shape?
Affected by the tidal forces
62
What's difference between comets and asteroids
Comets have ice cores
63
Ceres was considered a planet. Why?
It has core, mantle and crust. It has craters. It is a sphere.
64
Why isn't Ceres a plant?
Too small
65
What happens when asteroids hit the earth?
1. Dust and smoke enter the atmosphere 2. Decreasing temperature because it blocks the sun
66
Why do asteroids hit earth?
1. Earth's strong gravity 2. Some asteroids have orbits that are closer to earth
