🗑
Some waves are _____________ relflected.   partially  
🗑
Metal surfaces are _________ to light waves.   rigid  
🗑

🗑
A light wave that bounces off a boundary is called a(n) ________ wave.   reflected  
🗑
A reflected wave's path is drawn as a(n) _________ ray.   reflected  
🗑

🗑
A normal is drawn as a ____________ line.   dashed  
🗑
Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light from a _________ surface.   rough  
🗑
