Photon | a bundle that is released when an atom loses some energy |
Frequency | the number of waves(crests or tough) that pass a point in a given time |
Transverse Wave | a wave in which the crests and troughs move at right angles to the direction of the wave's travel |
Refraction | the bending of a light wave as its moves from one material to another |
Focal Point | which light rays meet when reflected or refracted |
laser light | light of a single wavelength with all the waves lined up |
opaque | not allow light to pass through |
transparent | allows light to pass through so that objects on the other side can be seen |
