1. Light bends when it passes from one medium to another of different densities, causing the apparent distortion of objects seen at boundaries between media.
2. Refraction is the bending of light that occurs as it travels from one medium to another of different optical densities.
3. When white light enters a prism, the different colors of light refract differently, causing separation and dispersion of the white light into a visible spectrum.

1. Apparent depth is the illusion that objects under the water following tests. appear to be nearer the surface than they really are. This is Test I visible when an observer is standing beside the swimming pool looking at an object under water. This phenomenon is a True or False – Write T or F only. consequence of the bending of light when light traverses the air-water boundary. 1. Light can travel in outer space. 2. Light is classified as an electromagnetic wave located 2. The speed of light slows down between the spectrum of infrared and ultraviolet. As an when it travels from air to electromagnetic wave it does not need a medium in order vacuum. to propagate. It moves in its maximum speed in vacuum. But 3. Light bends when it passes from this speed decreases as it moves along different media. This one medium to another medium characteristic of light consequently shows bending when it with different densities. crosses the boundary between two media. Apparent distortion 4.

The speed of light is 2.7x108 m/s medium to another of different optical densities. in a vacuum. 4. Light travels so fast. It is approximated to travel at a speed of Test II – Write the letter only. 3 x 108 m/s in a vacuum. This speed decreases when light travels in a dense medium. This means that the speed of light a.Water b. Glass c. Air d. vacuum is dependent on the properties of the medium. In the case of ______1. In which material can light light, it is dependent on the optical density of the medium. The travel slowest? optical density of the medium is different from its physical density. Physical density is described as the mass per unit ______2. In which material will light volume of the medium. On the other hand, the sluggishness of bend the most? the atoms of a medium to maintain the absorbed energy before reemitting it is called optical density. When light crosses the ______3. In which material can light boundary of two media of different optical density, a change in travel fastest? speed takes place. This change in speed is manifested as _____________4. What bending of the light ray. 5. White light is made up of many different colors of light. Each phenomenon is shown in the picture? of these colors of light bends differently when it strikes objects like a prism. 6. Dispersion is a special kind of refraction which provides ______5. Which of the following colors of light. This phenomenon is observed when white light statements explain the picture above? passes through a triangular prism. When white light enters a prism, separation into different colors is observed. a. The pencil looks broken because 7. The refractive indices of the different colors of light indicate light bends from air to water. that light of different colors travels at different speeds in the b.
