OPTICAL
Across
- 3. Color match changes under different light sources
- 4. Separation of white light into its component colors by a prism
- 8. light Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 400 to 700 nm
- 9. reflection Reflection in all directions from a rough surface
- 10. material Allows some light to pass; objects blurred (e.g., tooth enamel)
- 12. Device that digitally measures hue, chroma, and value
- 16. energy distribution curve Graph of light energy emitted at each wavelength
- 18. hues (subtractive) Cyan, magenta, yellow
- 21. Delayed light emission after excitation
- 24. Additives that create scattering centers to increase opacity
- 25. Instrument that measures reflected wavelengths for precise color
- 27. cells Retinal cells sensitive to red, green, and blue light
- 29. reflection Reflection in one direction from a perfectly smooth surface; angle of incidence equals angle of reflection
- 31. color mixing Mixing colored lights; red + green + blue equals white
- 32. colors Two light colors that mix to produce white
- 33. Redirection and weakening of light by particles or inclusions
- 34. Bending of light when passing from one medium to another due to speed change
Down
- 1. color mixing Mixing pigments; cyan + magenta + yellow equals black
- 2. Dominant wavelength; the name of the color (red, blue, etc.)
- 5. colors (additive) Cyan, magenta, yellow
- 6. Lightness/darkness scale from white (10) to black (0); most important for tooth vitality
- 7. Immediate light emission upon excitation (e.g., UV)
- 11. material Allows most light to pass; objects seen clearly (e.g., glass)
- 13. Emission of light without heating
- 14. colors (additive) Red, green, blue; cannot be made by mixing other lights
- 15. agents Rare-earth compounds added to restorations to mimic natural tooth fluorescence
- 16. guide Standardized tooth-colored tabs for visual color matching
- 17. blindness Inability to distinguish certain colors due to missing cone cells
- 19. Series of colored bands produced by dispersion
- 20. index Ratio of speed of light in vacuum to speed in the medium; used for identification
- 22. material Absorbs all light; no transmission (e.g., metal)
- 23. fatigue Reduced response to a color after prolonged viewing; complementary afterimage
- 26. spectrum Entire range of electromagnetic radiation from gamma rays to radio waves
- 28. Property controlling lightness; high translucency equals higher value (brighter)
- 30. Strength, saturation, or intensity of a color
