100
Why can we see glass even though it is transparent?
Because of the impurities, dust, and dirt.
200
To bend or change directions
refract

What is the path of light to see the flower?
The light travels from the sun to the flower and most then transmits through the glass to the girl's eyes.

What material is being represented in the diagram?
One-way mirror
200
How can the teacher see through the one-way mirror?
Some light from the students room transmits through the clear parts of the one-way mirror.

What is the process of making a one-way mirror reflective?
Silvering
300
To go through a material

This diagram show how light interacts with what material?
A one-way mirror
300
What tool is used to measure light?
Lux Meter

Which part of the eye refracts and focuses light on the retina?
Lens
400
Representation we use to explain a phenomena
Model
400
Light always travels in this kind of path.
A straight line
400
What conditions make for the weakest one-way mirror?
When equal light is on in both rooms
400
How could this person make their cell phone image more clear?
Block the sun
400
If there is more than 1 light input, how is it determined what a person will see?
The brain will process the strongest input

system
500
If the sun is shining behind a person they would expect to see this.
Their shadow.
500
How does the structure of a one-way mirror help make it work?
There are clear (transparent) parts and reflective parts.
500
What can happen to light when it hits a material?
Light can reflect, transmit, or a combination of both
500
Explain the step-by-step process for how the eye sees an image.
Light enters through the pupil.
The lens refracts the light and focuses it on the retina, which then sends an electrical signal to through the optic nerve to the brain.
