10. What is light?

11. What are colors? Wavelength

12. Reflection and Refraction The angle of refraction depends on the material’s index of refraction. n = c/v c = spd of light in vacuum, v = spd of light in medium For example n H20 (589nm) = 1.333 BUT n also depends on the wavelength of the light That means that when a mixture of different wavelengths of light goes into water, each photon of different wavelength gets refracted at a slightly different angle
