Question Category
What is Dispersion?
Dispersion is a light term which states that:
 The separation of
visible light into its

DOST-SEI | Project STAR | 1

 a. From the sun hitting water.
b. From light hitting objects.
c. Through different wavelengths of refracted light.
2. When does a rainbow occur in nature?
a. After a snowstorm.
b. After a rainstorm, when the sun comes out.
3. Which colors of the rainbow have the longest wavelengths? (There
is more than one answer!)
a. Violet
b. Orange
c. Yellow
d. Indigo
e. Red
4. Rainbows are just straight lines across the sky.
a. No, they are full circles.
b. They are a half cresent.
5. What causes light to refract off of certain objects?
a. When the beam of light goes through the object, the light bounces
off, because the light is pointed at an angle.
b. The object is not transparent.
c. The object is transparent.
