| A description of a material that scatters light that passes through it and doesn't let all the light arrays through. |

Definition
| Shadows are cast since an object blocks out the ray of light striking it , while the rays that aren't striking the object will go one either side until it hits the ground |

| Refraction of light in water. |
|
Definition
| It shows an object in water where it really isn't because the light waves slow down and change direction because water is denser that air. Warm air is more dense that cold air. |

| A flat, smooth mirror that produces an upright, virtual image the same size as the object |

Term
|
Definition
| A mirror with a surface that curves inward, its images has 3 possibilities of turning out, First one will occur if the object is behind the focal point by more than two focal points or more away is that the image will appear smaller and inverted and infront of the mirror but if it was closer but still behind the focal point will cause the image to enlarge but still be inverted and infront of the mirror. and finally if it is between the focal point and the mirror will cause it to be upright behind the mirror and larger. |

| A mirror with a surface that curves outward and the object will be smaller, behind the mirror and lastley upright. |

Definition
| Are lenses that are thinner in the middle than at the edge and the rays will diverge which will cause the image to be smaller and upright. |

Definition
| Are lenses that are thicker in the middle and the edge. The image will depend on the distance from the focal point. If the object is more that two focal lengths away the the image will be behind smaller and inverted. if the image is between one and two focal lengths away then the image will be larger and inverted. and if the image is at the focal point then no image will be produced and lastly if it is less than one focal length then it will be larger and upright. |
