Light Vocabulary

4. The bending of light
6. The mirror-like reflection of light from a smooth, polished surface, where parallel incident light rays reflect at the same angel, creating a clear, shaped image.
7. The central point of all
9. the entire range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation,spanning from low energy radio waves to high energy gamma rays.
10. A material that allows light to pass through but diffuesesit, making objects on the other side unclear
13. a straight line path repersenting the direction of propagation of lights energy.
15. The throwing back of light
19. restricting the vibrations of transverse waves, to a single plane/ direction.
20. The bending, spreading, or scattering of a wave

1. A transparent optical, that curves outward to refract light rays inwards
2. The scattering of light in many directions when it hits a rough or uneven surface
3. blocking light from passing through
5. objects that allow light to pass through, making them easy to see through.
8. The smallest, fundamental particle of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
11. shape projected onto a surface when an object, person, or body obstructs light rays.
12. A thinner lens that causes parallel light rays to diverge.
14. the act of disturbing things
16. invisbible, traveling energy waves created by vibrating charged particles ( electrons)
17. that curves inward like a bowl
18. A curved, spherical mirror with a refelctive surface that bulges outward; toward the light.
