I and 2 only
3 only
2 and 3 only
1, 2, and 3
4. Which statement/s best describes the relationship between ROYGBIV and the angle of refraction?
  1. They are directly proportional–the longer their wavelength, the greater the angle of refraction
  2. They are inversely proportional–the smaller the wavelength the greater the angle of refraction

I only
5. How are spectral lines used to determine the composition of stars and other astronomical bodies?
Spectral lines are markers of molecules and compounds
Spectral lines are associated with specific atoms
Spectral lines are used to analyze the physical properties of astronomical objects
Spectral lines are interferences by cosmic rays and are not used at all
