What is true about the nature of light? Select all that apply. OLight can be reflected in different colors seen by the human eye. Light behaves as a wave, which is shown when it is hasses through slits and produces a diffraction pattern. OLight is composed of small lines of color called photons. Light behaves as a particle, which is shown when it is shines on a metal and produces current.

The light produced by a red neon sign is due to the emission of light by excited neon atoms. Qualitatively describe the spectrum produced by passing light from a neon lamp through a prism.
Which photons contain more energy, X-ray photons with a frequency of 31017 Hz or ultraviolet photons with a frequency of 21015 Hz? X-ray photons Ultraviolet photons Neither. They both contain the same energy per photon.
Four types of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) are ultraviolet, microwaves, gamma rays, and visible. All of these types of EMR can be characterized by wavelength, frequency, photon energy, and speed of travel. Define these terms and rank the four types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength, frequency, photon energy, and speed.
Answer the following questions about a Blu-ray laser: (a) The laser on a Blu-ray player has a wavelength of 405 nm. In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is this radiation? What is its frequency? (b) A Blu-ray laser has a power of 5 millwatts (1watt=1Js1). How many photons of light are produced by the laser in 1 hour? (c) The ideal resolution of a player using a laser (such as a Blu-ray player), which determines how close together data can be stored on a compact disk, is determined using the following formula: Resolution =0.60(/NA), where A is the wavelength of the laser and NA is the numerical aperture. Numerical aperture is a measure of the size of the spot of light on the disk; the larger the NA, the smaller the spot. In a typical Blu-ray system, NA = 0.95. If the 405-nm laser is used in a Blu-ray player, what is the closest that information can be stored on a Blu-ray disk? (d) The data density of a Blu-ray disk using a 405-nm laser is 1.5107 bits mm2. Disks have an outside diameter of 120 mm and a hole of 15-mm diameter. How many data bits can be contained on the disk? If a Blu-ray disk can hold 9,400,000 pages of text, how many data bits are needed for a typed page? (Hint: Determine the area of the disk that is available to hold data. The area inside a circle is given by A=r2, where the radius r is one-half of the diameter.)
Human color vision is " produced" by the nervous system based on how three different cone receptors interact with photons of light in the eye. These three different types of cones interact with photons of different frequency light, as indicated in the following chart: Cone Type Range of Light Frequency Detected S 6.00-7.49 1014s1 M 4.76-6.62 1014s1 L 4.28-6.00 1014s1 What wavelength ranges (and corresponding colors) do the three types of cones detect?
