Reflection and Mirrors
This type of reflection occurs when rays of light hit a smooth surface.
What is regular reflection?
This piece of glass or other transparent material is used to refract light.
What is a lens?
These are the opposite of secondary colors.
What are primary colors?
This ring of muscle is the colored part of the eye.
What is the iris?
This device records images using lenses.
What is a camera?
This type of mirror curves outward.
This forms when sunlight is refracted and reflected by tiny water droplets.
What is a rainbow?
When there is no light to reflect off an object, this is how it appears.
What is black?

These images are upright.
What are virtual images?
This type of image is caused by refraction of light.
What is a mirage?
When the primary colors of light are mixed in equal amounts, they form this type of light.
This layer of cells is made up of rods and cones.
What is the retina?
This word is a shorter form of "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation."
What is 'laser'?
This type of mirror produces an image that is the same size as the object being reflected.
What is a plane mirror?
This measures how much a ray of light bends when it enters a certain material.
What is index of refraction?
These pieces of glass or plastic allow only a certain color of light to pass through.
What are filters?
This transmits the signals generated by the rods and cones to your brain.
What is the optic nerve?
The lens in this part of the telescope magnifies the image so you can see it clearly.
What is the eyepiece?
