Light Blank
This spherical orb is a household item that produces light through electricity.
A Light Bulb
The distance between one peak and the next in a wave.
Wavelength
A cut piece of clear glass or plastic in the form of a triangle, which refracts light and changes white light into a rainbow.
Prism
This kind of energy comes from the vibration of electric and magnetic energy, typically traveling as a wave.
Light Energy
The highest point of a light wave is called a...
Peak
A mirror bent inward that expands the image.
Concave
When there is a buildup of electrical charge within a thunderstorm cloud that overcomes the air's insulating properties, it results in this kind of a rapid discharge of electricity.
Lightning
The means by which particles move. Light does not need it however to travel.
Medium
A mirror bent outward that makes the image smaller.
Convex
Light particles are called
(Light) Photons
The process by which light photons bounce off the surface of objects, allowing us to see what the objects look like.
Scattering
The bands of color in a rainbow that result from light refracted through a prism.
Spectrum
A way light can behave as a particle, forming a ray that can bounce off objects. This is called a...
Light Ray
Light waves vibrate in the direction perpendicular to their motion.
Transverse Wave
The bending of light waves as they pass from one substance into another.
Refraction
