1 of 7
laterally inverted
back-to-front
2 of 7
refraction
the bending of light at an interface
3 of 7
Why does light refract?
it changes speed when passing into a medium of a different density
4 of 7
Law of Reflection
angle of incidence = angle of reflection
5 of 7
diffraction
the bending of waves when they go through a gap or past an edge
