How does light behave

a)

its a circle

b)

When light moves from one medium (like air) to another medium (like water) it will change directions. This is a "wave-like" behavior and is called refraction. In this way light behaves like other waves such as sound waves. The speed of the light wave also changes when it moves from medium to medium.

c)

its a triangle

d)

octagon

2.

Why is the grass green

a)

Like many plants, most species of grass produce a bright pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs blue light (high energy, short wavelengths) and red light (low energy, longer wavelengths) well, but mostly reflects green light, which accounts for your lawn's color.

b)

because it fake

c)

because it reflects

d)

its not healthy

3.

Refraction is when light

a)

bounces off of shiny surfaces.
