Folie 15

• EACH ______________________ OF LIGHT ON THE VISIBLE SPECTRUM HAS A DIFFERENT WAVE LENGTH

Folie 16

• COLOR

Folie 17

• THE NUMBER OF WAVES THAT PASS BY A CERTAIN SPOT IN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME IS CALLED THE _________________ OF THE WAVE

Folie 18

• FREQUENCY

Folie 19

• WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LIGHT FROM THE SUN AND THE LIGHT FROM THE MOON?

Folie 20

• BEND A LIGHT WAVE AS IT PASSES
• FROM ONE MATERIAL TO ANOTHER

Folie 31

• REFRACT

Folie 32

• OBJECTS LIKE WATER, AIR, SOME PLASTICS, AND CLEAR TAPE ALLOW LIGHT TO PASS THROUGH, SO WE CAN SEE WHATEVER IS BEHIND IT- ARE CALLED?

Folie 33

• TRANSPARENT

Folie 34

• OBJECTS LIKE A DARK SHADE OVER A WINDOW TO NOT ALLOW LIGHT TO PASS THROUGH. THEY BLOCK THE LIGHT ARE CALLED?
