When a ray of light travels from one material to another, if its direction of travel is perpendicular or normal to the surface of the material_____________

it will change speed but not direction.

200

group of pencils of light that DO NOT diverge from one, single point.  Rather, they originate of from all the points on a light source.

Beam of Light

200

•If one surface is concave and one surface is convex, it is considered a _____ lens.

bent

200

Light strikes a surface and bounces back at an angle into the incident material instead of traveling on into the new material.
