Light Sol 5.3 d & E

Reflection is the bouncing back of light waves when they hit a surface, such as a mirror.

Absorption is when light waves are captured by matter and converted into a different form of energy.

Refraction is the bending of light waves as they pass through a transparent medium, like water or glass.

An object appears green because it reflects green light and absorbs other colors.

When light hits a mirror, it reflects off the surface, allowing us to see our image.

An example of refraction is a straw appearing bent when placed in a glass of water.

Reflection is the bouncing back of light, while refraction is the bending of light as it passes through a medium.

A transparent medium is a material that allows light to pass through it, such as glass or clear water.

We see objects because light reflects off them and enters our eyes.

During absorption, light waves are taken in by an object and converted into heat or other forms of energy.
