QUESTIONS LIST:

• heat : changes solid to a liquid and liquid to a gas
• pigment : special chemical that absorbs some colors and reflect others
• microwave : microwave radiation will cook your popcorn in just a few minutes, but is also used by astronomers to learn about the structure of nearby galaxies.
• prism : what you use to view all wavelengths of visible light
• molecule : two or more atoms of the same element

• refract : change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another or from a gradual change in the medium
• liquid : state of matter that allows substance to take shape of container
• evaporation : when liquid changes to gas phase
• ultraviolet waves : ultraviolet radiation is emitted by the sun and are the reason skin tans and burns. "hot" objects in space emit uv radiation as well
