Refraction- bending of light waves (ex. straw in a cup of water looks bent on a side but really is NOT, this is due to refraction, it bends the light waves reflected)

Luminescence- Creation/Emission/Starting or making of light through ways that DO NOT INVOLVE heat.

Ultraviolet- a wavelength that is part of the electromagnetic spectrum its shorter than visible light waves.
