The color of an object depends on the wavelength of light that is ________________ by the object.
What is reflected?
100
______________ is the bending of light when it travels from one medium to another.
What is refraction?
100
Light behaves differently depending on the ________________________ it hits.
What is the material, atoms, or molecules?
200
The highest points of a wave are called ___________.
What is crest (or peak from chromebook)?
200
The range that human can see.
What is visible light?
200
White light can be bent to show these different colors through a ______________.
What is a prism?
200
The process of absorbing light and then reemitting it in a different direction.
What is scattering?
200
Materials that prevents all light rays from passing through the material.
What is opaque material?
300
The lowest points of a wave are called ___________.
What is a trough?
300
The longest wavelengths can be as long as buildings.
What are radio waves?
300
The order of colors in a rainbow--ROY G BIV.
What is Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet?
300
The process of converting light energy into thermal energy when light rays hit an atom and the light's energy is transferred to the atom or molecules.
What is absorption?
300
A medium that transmits nearly all the light rays that hit it.
What is transparent?
400
The distance between any two peaks or any two troughs of a wave.
What is the wavelength?
400

What are gamma rays?
400
The wavelength color that is bent the most.
What is Blue?
400
Light rays strike a material are are transferred through the matrial in a cycle of absorption and reemission.
What is transmission?
400
A medium that allows only some light rays to pass through.
What is translucent?
500
The distance from a crest or trough of the wave to the resting position.
What is the amplitude?
500
The number of complete waves that pass a given point in one second.
What is the frequency?
500
The wavelength color bent the least.
What is red?
500
The law of reflection sates that when a light ray is reflected from a surface, the _________________________ equals the angle of reflection.
