A leaf is green, what does this tell you about the light that is being absorbed?

• no light is being absorbed
• green is being refracted and all the colors are being absorbed.
• green is being absorbed and all the other colors are reflected
• green is being reflected and all the other colors are being absorbed

What is the definition of Diffraction?

• The bending of waves as they enter a new medium

• Bouncing back of waves from a surface that it can’t pass through

• When two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction, crest and trough overlap. Zero amplitude.

• The bending of waves as they pass through openings or around corners

The Law of Reflection states that - The angle that light hits an object is .................. to the angle that light reflects off the object.

• equal
• double
• half
