True
False
Give an example of a use of infrared waves.
When light passes through a prism, why do you see different colors?
Each color has a different wavelength, so they all bend at different angles
Because the prism reflects light
Because the prism absorbs light
Angle a is called the angle of...
reflection
refraction
incidence
critical angle
