• Refraction

• Absorption

• Absorption

• Reflection

• Refraction

When light waves bounce off of a smooth surface at the same angle of incidence in which they hit the surface we call this:

• Diffuse Reflection

• Specular Reflection

• Diffuse Refraction

• Specular Refraction

The color that reflects all visible light waves is:

• White

• Black

• Green

• Yellow

If you see the color orange, this means:

• The colors red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet have been absorbed and orange has been refracted.

• The colors red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet have been absorbed and orange has been reflected.

• The color orange has been absorbed and red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet are refracted.

• The color orange has been absorbed and red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet are reflected.
