Ride the Wave
A transverse wave composed of an oscillating electric field and magnetic field that oscillates perpendicular to the electric field.
Electromagnetic wave
Translucent
Light that vibrates only in one direction.
polarized
Light is traveling through water and suddenly breaks the surface and travels through air. The light speed changed to this once it left the water. (increased, decreased, stayed the same)
Increased
One of two things that can happen when light travels from one substance to another. (Hint: this occurs in a mirror)
Reflection
Electromagnetic wave
These light waves have the highest frequency.
You would use this type of lens to focus light from a weak light source into a single point.
converging lens
Light waves cause these two fields to oscillate.
Magnetic field and electric field.
The 2nd of two things that can happen when light travels from one substance to another.
Refraction
This electromagnetic wave has the longest wavelength.
When light travels through air and suddenly hits a glass window, this happens to the speed of the light when it enters the glass.
slows down
The eye changes the shape of this structure to change focus.

Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity
Infrared light is given off by any object that is losing heat. The human body is almost always losing heat to the environment. This is the reason why human bodies don't glow, even though they are emitting light.
Infrared light is not visible.
The theory that there are two transverse waves, one made of an oscillating magnetic field and the other an oscillating electric field.
Wave Theory of Light
The law that states that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.
The Law of Reflection
Using the colors listed on the board, answer the following question: The color made when a computer monitor makes a green dot and then puts a blue dot in the same place.
Cyan
Using the colors listed on the board, answer the following question: You shine a red light on a yellow shirt. This is the color that the shirt will appear. Assume the shirt color is done with dyes that use the subtractive primary colors.
Red
Light hits a mirror, making an angle of 15 degress relative to a line drawn perpendicular to the mirror's surface. This is the angle that the reflected light will make with the same line (in degrees)
15 degrees
The theory that views a ray of light as a beam of individual particles called photons.
Particle Theory of Light
The theory that light is both a particle and a wave.
Quantum-Mechanical Theory
Using the colors listed on the board, answer the following question:The color made when cyan and magenta ink is mixed.
Blue
You are on a diving board looking down into a pool. You see a quarter at the bottom of the pool, about 3 feet in front of you. This is where the quarter is actually located. (closer or further away)
Closer
The reason why the sky looks blue on sunny days is because sunlight bounces off these molecules that are in the air.
water molecules
