Delimiter between question and answer:

Tips:

  • No column headers.
  • Each line maps to a question.
  • If the delimiter is used in a question, the question should be surrounded by double quotes: "My, question","My, answer"
  • The first answer in the multiple choice question must be the correct answer.

Light passes through glass because the molecules vibrate & pass those vibrations to neighboring atoms through the substance. This is called:

Reflection
 
Absorption

Frosted
What is interference?
 
When light rays try to reflect but run into each other
 
When someone gets in your way
 
When light blocks the path of a spaceship
 
When light rays try to refract but get lost in the medium
What is refraction?
 
Light is bent from its normal course but isn't reflected
 
Light is projected from a source but is not visible
 
Light is really pretty but too bright to look at
What happens to the electrons in an object when light reflects off of it? They...
 
fall down to original energy level, releasing light energy
 
suck energy from the air to return to their original levels
 
vibrate in the same spot which sends waves of light out
What is it called when light bounces off an object, causing us to be able to see it?
 
Reflection
 
Refraction
 
Interference
 
Projection
What happens to the electrons in an object when light hits it?
 
Electrons increase in energy and jump up energy levels
 
Electrons decrease in energy and fall down energy levels
 
Electrons get hyper and vibrate but don't move to new levels
