which statements about light are true?
white light is made up of a spectrum of many different wavelengths of light
the full spectrum of electromagnetic radiation wavelengths are classified as light.
light waves can carry energy through the vacuum of space.
the color of light that we perceive varies with lights wavelength.
Brief Explanations
- White light is a combination of multiple wavelengths (e.g., Newton's prism experiment).
- Light (electromagnetic radiation) can carry energy through vacuum (e.g., sunlight reaching Earth).
- Color perception depends on wavelength (e.g., red has longer wavelength than blue).
- Not all electromagnetic radiation wavelengths are classified as "light" (e.g., radio waves, X - rays are outside visible light range).
