1. Light travels in a straight line except when the medium it travels through changes. Does light
always travel the
same way?

2. Reflection:2. Reflection:
• Law of Reflection: This states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

• Two types of reflection: Regular and Diffuse reflection
Compare & Contrast diffuse & regular
reflection.

3. Absorption:3. Absorption:
• Absorption: the transfer of energy carried by light waves to particles in matter.
– This occurs when light hits opaque materials
(You can not see through opaque material)– Some Examples: – Solar panels that absorb energy from sun– Wearing dark colored clothing on a hot day
Describe absorption and give
an example

4. Transmission:4. Transmission:
• The passing of light through matter– This occurs when light hits transparent
materials(You can see through transparent material)
– Some Examples: *All the light you see is transmitted through air.
*Light is transmitted through windows which allows you to see through glass.
Describe transmission
and give an
example

5. Refraction:5. Refraction:• The bending of waves as they enter a
new medium at an angle.
• Refraction occurs because speed of light varies depending on the material in travels through.
– Some Examples: *Light entering through a prism, it is refracted and then separates white light
*Lenses refract light
Describe refraction and give
an example
