Most light sources distribute their light . Of light. By: Ahmed. Definitions. Luminous . objects . – . generate their own light (the sun). Illuminated. objects – reflect light (the moon). Definitions. Line . of Sight . – a line from an object or image to your eyes (light from the object travels along this line to your eyes). light bends or refracts when it moves from one medium to another. the light bends because it changes speed. if light slows down it bends toward the normal. if light speeds up it bends away from the normal. Vocabulary . Refraction-. . the bending of light as it passes from one material into another.. Prism-. . a polyhedron with two congruent and parallel faces (the bases) and whose lateral faces are parallelograms. Stephen Kyle. University College London. s.kyle@ucl.ac.uk. Co-authors: .

Refraction of Light - Defined. Refraction of light occurs when a light wave moves from a vacuum (or a medium) into another medium (or a vacuum). When a wave changes media, its ____________ changes..
