Question illustration
A
Change the label “Virtual image from objective lens” to “Real image from objective lens.”
B
Switch the locations of the eyepiece lens and the objective lens.
C
Move the light so it is shining downward from the eyepiece lens toward the objective lens.
D

Zach listed the process of how laser beams are produced with crystals.A flashlamp pumps energy through the crystal.Atoms in the crystal absorb and then release some of the energy as light. Light bounces off mirrors and occasionally bounces off crystal atoms, increasing in energy.Some light escapes the tube through the highly reflective mirror, forming a concentrated beam.

A
The crystal pumps energy through the flashlamp; the flashlamp does not pump energy through the crystal.
B
The atoms in the crystal do not release energy; they only absorb energy.
C
Light does not bounce off mirrors; it focuses through glass lenses.
D
Light escapes through the partially reflective mirror, not the highly reflective mirror.
7

Which is one use of lasers?

A
reproducing images to make them clearer
B
producing a magnified image of the moon
C
cutting an iron bar into two pieces
D
making a leaf appear larger so its veins are visible
8

Which is a property of laser light that makes it useful for cutting metals?

A
its focused energy
B
its single color
C
its scattered energy
D
its multiple colors
9

Which best explains why one laser beam might appear blue and another laser beam might appear red?

A
The energy in laser beams is concentrated.
B
The energy in laser beams is scattered.
C
Each laser beam is made up of all visible wavelengths of light.
D
Each laser beam is made up of one specific wavelength of light.
10

Which best compares a nondigital and a digital camera?

A
A nondigital camera produces images using mirrors, and a digital camera produces them using lenses.
B
A nondigital camera produces a real image, and a digital camera produces a virtual image.
C
A nondigital camera uses a concave lens to capture light, and a digital camera uses a convex lens.
D
A nondigital camera uses film to record images, and a digital camera uses sensors.
