Light
Across
- 4. Process where light energy is taken in by a material rather than reflected
- 8. The bending of light as it passes from one medium into another
- 10. The dark central region of a shadow where light is completely blocked
- 12. The bouncing back of light rays when they hit a smooth surface
- 13. Material that allows light to pass through clearly and sharply
- 16. The splitting of white light into its component colors
- 17. The incoming light ray that hits a surface before reflection
- 18. A lens or mirror that curves outward like the back of a spoon
- 20. An optical instrument using mirrors that allows you to see over obstacles
Down
- 1. The distance light travels in one full Earth year
- 2. A fundamental packet or particle of light energy
- 3. The band of colors produced when white light is separated
- 5. An imaginary line drawn perpendicular or at ninety degrees to a surface
- 6. Material that scatters light as it passes through making objects appear blurry
- 7. Reflection of light off a rough surface scattering rays in all directions
- 9. The lighter partial shadow surrounding the darkest part of a shadow
- 11. An object or body that produces and emits its own light energy
- 14. A triangular object that disperses white light into a rainbow of colors
- 15. A lens or mirror that curves inward like the inside of a bowl
- 19. Material that absorbs or reflects all light allowing none to pass through
