  • Which color of clothing absorbs more light?
    black
  • What is reflection?
    A reflection happens when light bounces off of an object.
  • What does it mean when light is absorbed?
    The light rays stop on an object. They are not reflected nor do they pass through the object.
  • Can you see clearly through a translucent object?
    No, translucent objects only let some light through.
  • Name one example of refraction you see in everyday life.
    Glasses, rainbows, magnifying glasses, water in a cup, etc.
  • Describe what happens to light when it moves from air into water.
    The light slows down and changes direction as it enters the water from the air. It is refracted.
  • Describe what happens to the light as it travels from position Y to position Z
    The light refracts as it passes through the surface back into the air.
  • Describe what happens to the light as it travels from position W to position Y
    The light refracts as it leaves the air and begins to pass through the surface.
  • How is a translucent object different from an opaque one?
    Trnaslucent objects will allow some light through, while opaque ones allow no light through.
  • Describe what happens to the light as it travels from position W to position X
    The light reflects as it bounces off the surface.
  • Why do dark surfaces get warmer in sunlight?
    Dark surfaces absorb more light which is transformed into more thermal energy.
  • Name one object that is opaque.
    **Opaque Objects**
  • Name 2 objects that reflect light well.
    **Reflective Objects**
  • What does opaque mean?
    The material lets no light through.
  • What is refraction?
    Refraction happens when light passes from one medium to another and changes direction (a bend).
  • Describe what happens to light when it hits a mirror.
    When light hits a mirror it is reflected.
