The Speed of Light

Speed of Light Quiz | Home
Quizzes about Light: Grade 4 | Grade 5 | Grade 6 | Grade 7

Grade 6 Science Students:

  • Please feel free to take all of these quizzes - not just the quiz for the grade your are in at the moment :-)
  • The subjects that you learn ( curriculum / syllabus ) are not the same between all the schools in the world :-(
  • You can also take the quiz for last year's grade to test how much you still remember ;-)

Grade 4 - What is light?, shadows, mirrors, where does light come from?, rainbows
Grade 5 - Kaleidoscope, microscope, telescope, prisms, convex, concave
Grade 6 - Wavelength, frequency, electromagnetic spectrum, radiation, intensity. - this quiz is lower down on this page
Grade 7 - Transparent, translucent, opaque, diffraction, reflection, refraction
All Grades - Over 1000 school science quiz questions for grade 3 to 9 students


Grade 6 Quiz - Wavelength, frequency, electromagnetic spectrum, radiation, intensity

1) True or false ? Wavelength is the distance between the crest of one wave and the crest of the next wave.

True
False


2) True or false ? Wavelength is the distance between one trough to the next crest of the next wave.

True
False


3) True or false ? Frequency is the number of waves that pass by at a point each second.

True
False


4) True or false ? Shorter wavelength means greater frequency for a wave.

True
False


5) True or false ? The closer you get to a light souce, the less intensity it has.

True
False


6) How do you separate light into a rainbow of colors?

by passing it through a telescope
by passing it through a prism
by passing it through a microscope


7) Which of the following is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum?

microwave and infrared wave
visible light wave
sound wave
ultraviolet and X-ray


8) Pick the correct statement from this list:

Heat waves, also called infrared waves are invisible.
Light waves, also called white light is visible.
Radio wave, also called microwaves are visible.


9) Radiation means the sending out of ......?

white light
matter
energy


10) Which type of telescope has a large mirror?

refraction telescope
reflecting telescope


11) What is the frequency of a wave?

the number of waves that pass a certain point each second
the size of waves that pass a certain point each second


12) Pick the list with only correct facts from the list below.

prism ... rainbow _______ refracting telescope ... large lens _______ reflecting telescope ... large mirror
frequency ... distance between crests _______ wavelength ... number of waves
electromagnetic spectrum = light waves + sound waves
