100
The color that absorbs the most light
What is black?
100
Air, water, glass. This material has the highest index of refraction.
What is glass?
100
The kind of mirror that curves outward
What is convex?
100
The lowest point of a wave.
What is the trough?
100
Describes materials through which light can travel; materials that can be seen through
What is transparent?
200
The color that reflects the most light
What is white?
200
A wave doesn't move an object, instead it is transfering this.
What is energy?
200
The kind of mirror that curves inward.
What is concave?
200
The highest point of a wave.
What is the crest?
200
Causes fish in an aquarium to appear to be where they are not.
What is refraction?
300
an object that transmits light
What is glass?
300
This type of object both absorbs and reflects light. No light is transmitted through it.
What is opaque?
300
Process that explains how a rainbow forms when raindrops act like tiny prisms that separate light into its component colors
What is refraction?
300
Color(s) of light absorbed by a black object.
What is all colors?
300
Wave that compresses and extends matter as they pass
What is a longitudinal wave?
400
The distance from one peak to the next on a wave
What is the wavelength?
400
Describes materials that allow some light to travel through them, but not enough to see through the material.
What is translucent?
400
Oscillations or vibrations per second
What is frequency?
400
The type of lens that bends light inward toward a focal point.
What is a convex lens?
400
the distance from the equilibrium point of a wave to a peak or a trough
What is amplitude?
500
A surface that reflects light in an even, predictable path
What is a straight mirror?
500
The angle at which light strikes an object.
What is the angle of incidence?
500
A high-frequency wave has ___ than a low-frequency wave with the same amplitude coming from the same source.
What is a shorter wavelength and more energy?
500
The point where light rays meet when they are refracted by a lens
What is the focal point?
500
The reason rough surfaces do not make good mirrors
What is light rays scatter on rough surfaces?
