- 5. the colors of light that cannot be made by mixing any other colors of light: red, gree, and blue
- 7. pieces of glass or transparent plastic designed to refract light in certain ways.
- 8. when a light ray bends so its angle measured from the normal increases.
- 11. changed to become unclear
- 12. a blue-green color, made by adding blue light and green light.
- 13. when a light ray bends so its angle measured from the normal decreases.
- 16. of light, cannot pass through an object or be reflected from it
- 17. a change in the direction of light caused by a change in the speed of the light when passing from one medium into another.
- 19. of light (or waves), the substance through which the light (or waves) travel
