MSB: Makes a rainbow

Front

What is the definition of refraction of light?

Back

Refraction of light is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another.

Front

What is the role of mirrors in light reflection?

Back

Mirrors reflect light, allowing us to see images and colors.

Front

What color of light is produced when white light is dispersed?

Back

When white light is dispersed, it produces a spectrum of colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Front

What does it mean to absorb light?

Back

To absorb light means to take in light energy, preventing it from being reflected or transmitted.

Front

Why is Carlos' blue hoodie significant in the context of light reflection?

Back

Carlos' blue hoodie is significant because it reflects blue light, making it visible when blue light is bounced off of it.

Front

What is the visible spectrum of light?

Back

The visible spectrum of light is the range of wavelengths of light that can be seen by the human eye, typically from about 380 nm to 750 nm.

Front

How does the angle of incidence affect reflection?

Back

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, meaning that light reflects off a surface at the same angle at which it hits it.

Front

What is dispersion of light?

Back

Dispersion of light is the process of separating light into its component colors, often seen in rainbows.

Front

What is the significance of white light in creating a rainbow?

Back

White light contains all colors of the visible spectrum, which can be separated to form a rainbow when refracted.

Front

What is the difference between reflection and refraction?

Back

Reflection is the bouncing back of light from a surface, while refraction is the bending of light as it passes through different media.
