Give an example of reflection of light in everyday life.
Seeing a rainbow in the sky
Watching a movie in a theater
Looking at oneself in the mirror

Explain refraction of light.
Refraction of light is the reflection of light off a surface
Refraction of light is the scattering of light as it passes through a medium
Refraction of light is the absorption of light by a medium
Refraction of light is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another, due to the change in its speed.
What is the difference between transparent, translucent, and opaque materials?
Transparent materials absorb all light
Translucent materials allow light to pass through without scattering
Opaque materials allow light to pass through with little scattering
Transparent materials allow light to pass through with little or no scattering, translucent materials allow some light to pass through but scatter it, and opaque materials do not allow light to pass through.
Name a transparent material.
Metal
Acrylic
Glass
Plastic
