2.  Light is a primary sensor to how the universe behaves. From learning about the biological patterns on Earth to discovering the astronomic rules of outer space, scientists rely upon detecting light waves. http://achemtutor.blogspot.com/

3.  Materials that transmit light waves without distorting images. Objects can be clearly seen through:  Air  Glass  Some plastics Transparent. Technical Guides. Adobe, 2000. Web. 5 Jan. 2011..

4.  Materials that transmit light but do not permit objects to be seen clearly  Lamp shades  Frosted light bulbs Translucent. Technical Guides. Adobe, 2000. Web. 5 Jan. 2011..

5.  Materials that transmit no light but absorb or reflect all light incident upon them.  Brick Opaque. TutorVista. 2010. Web. 5 Jan. 2011..

6. Color

8.  Isaac Newton experimented on the colors when a narrow beam of sunlight passed through a prism. http://www.yorku.ca/eye/newton.htm

9.  A spectrum is the ordered arrangement of wavelengths.  Rainbows (Violet to red)  Each color in the spectrum has a specific wavelength of light. http://sammyholmes.wikispaces.com/

11.  Colors from which other colors can be made. 1.Red 2.Green 3.Blue  red & green = yellow  blue & green = cyan  red & blue = magenta http://www.d.umn.edu/~mharvey/colorwheel.jpg

12.  Colors formed when two primary colors are mixed.  yellow (red & green)  cyan (blue & green)  magenta (red & blue) http://www.d.umn.edu/~mharvey/th1501color.html

13.  Two colors of light that when added together produce white light. 1.Yellow is made from 2 primary colors.  Red & Green = Yellow White =  Blue & Yellow  Red & Cyan  Green & Magenta http://godbit.com/images/52.jpg

15.  A molecule that absorbs certain wavelengths of light and transmits or reflects others.  Tomatoes are red because it reflects light to our eyes. http://greencotton.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/blog-dye-picture.png

16.  Colored materials that absorb certain colors and transmit or reflect others.  Like a dye  but a pigment particle is larger than a molecule  can be seen with a microscope.

17.  A pigment that absorbs only one primary color from white light. 1.Yellow (absorbs blue; reflects red and green) 2.Cyan 3.Magenta

18.  A pigment that absorbs two primary colors and reflects one. 1.Red (absorbs green & blue) 2.Green (absorbs red & blue) 3.Blue (absorbs red & green)  Primary Pigments are the Secondary Light Colors. http://www.tutornext.com/system/files/u84/Chapter-7.doc-6.gif

20.  Light interference caused by reflection from the front and back surface of a thin layer of liquid or solid.  Different colors have different wavelengths.  As thickness increases, light with shortest wavelength will be most strongly reflected. 1.Violet 2.Blue 3.Green 4.Yellow 5.Orange 6.Red **A rainbow of colors.** http://electron9.phys.utk.edu/phys136d/modules/m9/film.htm

22.  Light consisting of waves that vibrate on a specific plane. http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/optics/lightandcolor/polarization.html

23.  The ray model explains how lenses and mirrors form images. http://astronomy.libsyn.com/2006/04
