Across
- 4. objects allow some light to travel through them.
- 6. a colored material that is completely or nearly insoluble in water.
- 7. When the electrical current makes contact with the base of the bulb, electricity enters and heats the tungsten filament housed inside.
- 8. Luminescence is the spontaneous emission of light by a substance not resulting from heat; or "cold light".
- 10. the branch of physics that studies the behaviour and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments that use or detect it.
- 11. a transmissive optical device that focuses or disperses a light beam by means of refraction.
- 12. Light absorption is the process in which light is absorbed and converted into energy.
- 14. light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation
- 15. a representation of an object produced by means of radiation usually with a lens or mirror system.
Down
- 1. eflection of light-rays off smooth conducting surfaces, such as polished metal or metal-coated glass mirrors The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.
- 2. a change in the direction of motion of a particle because of a collision with another particle.
- 3. the act or process of sending electrical signals to a radio, television, computer, etc.
- 5. A convex lens is thicker at the center than at the edges. Rays of light that pass through the lens are brought closer together.
- 9. Light absorption is the process in which light is absorbed and converted into energy.
- 13. the property of transmitting light without appreciable scattering so that bodies lying beyond are seen clearly.
