Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: A fluorescent light bulb produces visible light by fluorescence. Fluorescence occurs when a substance absorbs shorter-wavelength ultraviolet light and then gives off the energy as visible light. The compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) in the Figure below contains mercury gas that gives off ultraviolet light when electricity passes through it. The inside of the bulb is coated with a substance called phosphor. Phosphor absorbs the ultraviolet light and then gives off most of the energy as visible light. Q: What light-producing process occurs when a substance absorbs shorter-wavelength ultraviolet light and then gives off the energy as visible light? Choices: - candescence - resistance - luminescence - fluorescence A:
Answer: fluorescence

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sedimentary rocks formed by the crystallization of chemical precipitates are called chemical sedimentary rocks . Dissolved ions in fluids precipitate out of the fluid and settle out, just like the halite pictured below ( Figure below ). Q: What rocks are formed by crystallization of chemical precipitates? Choices: - volcanic - carbon sedimentary - layered - chemical sedimentary A:
Answer: chemical sedimentary

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Light may transfer its energy to matter rather than being reflected or transmitted by matter. This is called absorption . When light is absorbed, the added energy increases the temperature of matter. If you get into a car that has been sitting in the sun all day, the seats and other parts of the car's interior may be almost too hot to touch, especially if they are black or very dark in color. That's because dark colors absorb most of the sunlight that strikes them. Q: When light transfers its energy to objects, this is known as what? Choices: - accumulation - evaporation - condensation - absorption A:
Answer:
absorption
