Optics Concepts Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• prism : a transparent optical element that disperses light into its color spectrum.
• wavelength : the distance between two peaks of a light wave.
• spectrum : the range of colors produced when light is dispersed.
• lens : a transparent object that bends light to form an image.
• frequency : the number of wave cycles that pass a point per second.
• focal point : the point where light rays converge after passing through a lens.
• penumbra : the partially shaded region of a shadow, where some light is still visible.
• polarization : the process in which light waves vibrate in a single direction.
• iridescence : the phenomenon where surfaces appear to change color due to light interference.
• shadow : a dark area formed when an object blocks a light source.
• opaque : a material that does not allow light to pass through.
• mirror : a surface that reflects light to form an image.
• translucent : a material that lets some light pass but scatters it, making objects behind it blurry.
• transparent : a material that allows light to pass through with little or no distortion.
• convex : a type of lens that converges light rays.
• refraction : the bending of light when it passes from one medium to another.
• dispersion : the separation of light into different colors due to varying refraction.
• fiber optics : thin glass or plastic fibers that transmit light for communication.
• reflection : the bouncing of light off a surface.
• concave : a type of lens that diverges light rays.
