A light-year is the distance that light travels in a year.7. All materials have the same natural frequencies.8.Pigments selectively absorb certain frequencies of light so you can use themto color objects.9.Rainbows appear only after a rainstorm if the weather is hot.10. A transparent object will reflect the light that it does not absorb.11.Refracted light travels in a straight line.12. A transparent object will transmit the light that is does not absorb.13. Rainbows are formed due to Tyndall scattering.14. The color violet that you see when you look at violet objects is due toultraviolet light.15. Visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum consists of a range of colorsincluding red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.
