Quantum Particles

4. makes up 79% of Earth's atmosphere, causing the sky to be blue
6. makes up 95% of Mars' atmosphere, causing the sky to be red
8. type of reflection that happens when the surface is rough
9. name of subatomic particles that act like both waves and particles, leading scientists to believe they might be something else
10. the color the sun appears to be due to the atmosphere on Earth
11. abbreviation for the primary colors of light
13. real color of the sun
14. color that subtractive colors make when mixed together
15. number of colors in the visible light spectrum
16. what produces photons when its energy levels drop around a nucleus
17. color that is taught in school but isn't a real color of light

1. light bouncing off of something at an equal and opposite angle (wave + particle behavior)
2. experiment that shows that brightness of photons doesn't add energy, only frequency does (particle behavior)
3. light slowing down due to traveling through different materials (wave + particle behavior)
5. the idea that quantum particles can act as both waves and particles depending on the situation
7. energy spreading out after traveling through an opening, curving around corners (wave behavior)
12. type of reflection that happens when the surface is extremely smooth
