1. Absorption refers to a material’s taking in of light and not reflecting it back.
2. Transmission refers to the passing of light through some materials.
3. Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them. Concrete walls, woéden doors, and
4. Optics is the study of refraction, reflection, absorption, and transmission of light. mirrors are
examples of opaque objects.
5. Reflection refers to the bouncing back of light when it hits an object.
6. Refraction refers to the bending of light as it passes through a different material.
7. Our primary source of light is the SUN.
8. Translucent materials allow some light to pass through them. Stained glasses and frosted windows
are examples of translucent objects.
9. Transparent materials allow all light to pass through them. Clear plastic and glass
windows are examples of transparent objects.
10. The light that is visible to the human eye and responsible for our sense of sight is called visible light.
11. Tension is the force acting on a stretched string, rope, or cable.
12. Friction is the force that acts opposite the direction of motion. When a ball is rolled, the friction
present on the floor prevents it from rolling endlessly.
13. Normal force is a force that acts perpendicular to the common surface contact.
14. Electrical force is produced between two charges. When electrically charged particles collide in
the atmosphere, lightning is produced.
15. Magnetic force is produced between two electrically charged moving particles.
16. Gravitational force is the force of attraction that keeps bodies in the universe together.
