4. When carrying a microscope, one should always use two hands to support these two parts of the microscope.

5. When asked to find the mass of an item, this instrument would be the most appropriate tool.

6. It is not multiple levels of magnification, but this that puts the “compound” in a compound light microscope.

7. In a written lab report, this is the section which includes the instructions, or steps of the investigation.

8. The formation of this, an educated guess or possible explanation to a question, is often tested with an experiment.

9. problem, hypothesis, procedure, results, __________
This missing section would complete the correct organizational order for a lab report.
problem, hypothesis, procedure, results, __________

10. In a scientific experiment, this is the observable change due to a change in the independent variable.

11. In a written lab report, errors in the experiment or data should be addressed in this section.

12. What the “EM” in EM spectrum is short for.

13. What we can see, this makes up a small band within the broad EM spectrum.

14. Of x-rays, ultraviolet waves, infrared, microwaves, or radio waves, the one with the longest wavelength.

15. Of x-rays, ultraviolet waves, infrared, microwaves, or radio waves, the one with the shortest wavelength.

16. When white light is broken down into a rainbow, this is the color with the longest wavelength.

17. The human eye can detect this part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

18. Absorbed, reflected, refracted, or transmitted, this is what happens to light in order for our eye to see an illuminated object.

19. When you see a yellow banana, this color of light is being reflected back at you.

20. Of infrared, indigo, or violet light, the one which is outside the visible spectrum.

21. This light is a mixture of all wavelengths (colors) of visible light.

22. According to the Law of Reflection, the angle of this is equal to the angle of reflection.

23. The bending of light as it passes at an angle from one medium to another is known as this.

24. Materials that allow some of the light to pass through and the rest of to be scattered, reflected, and absorbed are called this.

25. Absorbed, refracted, reflected, or transmitted--this word describes when light passes straight through an object without being scattered or changed.

26. The line perpendicular to a mirrored or reflective surface that separates the angle of incidence from the angle of reflection is called this.

28. The following diagram illustrates this type of interaction between light and matter.
