Khaled is learning about a new kind of metal made by NASA. He is curious about whether light can cause changes to this new metal. The table below shows what happens when different types of light hit the metal.

Question 1
1.
Can light cause changes to the metal? How?
CFS:
Accurately identifies the differences in wave outcomes
Accurately describes the relationship between wave properties and outcomes
Question 2
2.
Question 3
3.
Gamma ray light and Ultraviolet light are differnt types, however in the question they emit the same intensity of light. What wave property changed between the two light types (wavelenght/amplitude), what evidence do you have?
Can light cause changes to the metal? (Use the table to the left)
There is no way to know whether the metal will change or not.
No. The metal can’t change because light is not a physical thing. Light cannot change physical things like metal.
Yes, but the metal can change in only one way, such as by getting warm, because all the light that a material absorbs will affect that material in the same way.
Yes, and the metal can change in one or two different ways, such as by getting warm and/or changing color, because different types of light can cause different changes to a material when they are absorbed.
