_____7. Which tool is used to separate white light into the color spectrum?
A.Kaleidoscope B. Periscope C. Prism D. Telescope
_____8. When light hits an object, the rays can pass through it, bounce off it, or be absorbed by it. What do you call the
light rays that bounce back?
A.Radar B. Radiant C. Reflected D. Refracted
____9. What did you observe when white light passes through a prism?
A.The mass of the prism C.The blue light is brighter than white light
B.The original source of light D.White light is actually a mixture of different colors
____10.What do you call the band of color that comprises the visible light?
A. Brightness B. Color C. Speed of light D. Visible Spectrum
____11. Which denotes the relationship between color and frequency?
A. Red is the lowest energy color, while violet is the highest energy color.
B. Violet is the lowest energy color, while red is the highest energy color.
C. Green is the highest energy color, while blue is the lowest energy color.
D. Orange is the highest energy color, while indigo is the lowest energy color.
____12. Below is the data of air temperature of the four cities at the same time:
Which city does sound travel the fastest?
A. Manila City B. Makati City C. Pasay City D.Quezon City
____13. Most of the concerts in SM Mall of Asia ground usually have well elevated stage and held during
nighttime where everyone has a chance to see and to enjoy the live show with their known artist. How does concert
schedule contribute to the sound?
A. Sound is louder at night due to minimal noise.
B. Sound is heard well in far areas during nighttime than during daytime.
C. Sound travels faster at the earth’s surface since the air molecules are hotter due to the energy absorbed from the
earth’s ground.
D. Sound travels faster at night in the earth’s surface is cooler and the layer of air immediately above it is also cooler. As
a result, higher altitude and is refracted or bent towards the ground
For item 14-15.
The table below shows the speed of sound in air at various temperatures.
__15. Which represent the CORRECT graphical point on speed of sound in air at
different temperature?
A. B. C. D.
D.

____16. Based on the graph, what is the relationship of temperature to the speed of
sound in air?
A. As the temperature increases the speed of sound also increases.
B. As the temperature increases the speed of the sound decreases.
C. As the temperature increases the speed of sound remain constant.
D. As the temperature decreases the speed of sound increases
____17. A student observed that sky is red in the afternoon (Sunset) not blue. Why is this so?
A. When the sunlight travels a long path through atmosphere to reach out eyes, the blue light has been removed
leaving mostly red and yellow light remains since red light waves are scattered the least by atmospheric gas
molecules.
B. When the sunlight travels a long path through atmosphere to reach out eyes, the blue light has been removed
leaving mostly red and yellow light remains since blue light waves are scattered the least by atmospheric gas
molecules.
C. When the sunlight travels a long path through atmosphere to reach out eyes, the red light has been removed
remains since red light waves are scattered the least by atmospheric gas molecules.
D. When the sunlight travels a long path through atmosphere to reach out eyes, the red light has been removed leaving
mostly red and yellow light remains since blue light waves are scattered the least by atmospheric gas molecules.
____18. What is the arrangement of the colors of white light in the order of decreasing energy?
A. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
B. Red, orange, green, yellow, blue, indigo, violet
C. Violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange red
D. Violet, indigo, green, blue, yellow, orange, red
____19. The Sun shines brightly and suddenly rain falls and the rainbow appears on the sky. What it refers to this
phenomenon where the splitting of white light into seven different colors of a rainbow?
A. dispersion
B. refractive index
C. reflection
D. reflection index
___20. Popoy sent an arrow beam of white light through a triangular prism. As a result, he observed the
light dispersing into seven colors. Which is a CORRECT arrangement according into increasing wavelength?

Light is a visible form of (1)____________ radiation. The sun produces (2)________ light, which is a combination of all
(3) ________ of light. However, these colors can be separated using a device called (4)___________. A prism, uses the
property of (5)__________, which is the bending of light as it passes from one (6)_________ to another. A
(7)__________ is formed when the sun’s light is refracted through droplets of water in the atmosphere.
We see objects when light (8)__________off of them. Different objects appear to be different colors because
light reflects off of the objects. Blue objects (9)________ every color except blue, which is reflected. Light can also pass
through objects. Objects that allow light to pass through them are (10)____________.
