- Light is a form of energy that is visible to the human eye
- Light travels in straight lines
- When light strikes a surface, it can be absorbed, transmitted or reflected.
-Opaque, transluscent, transparent
- Incandescence, fluorescence, phosphorescence, chemiluminescence,
bioluminescence
bioluminescence
- Plane and curved mirrors reflect light to produce images
- Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through one medium into another
- Concave and convex lenses produce images through refraction
- Lenses form images in the eye and in optical devices like glasses, contact lenses,
cameras, telescopes, microscopes
