2. Reflection
3. Refraction
4. Spectrum
5. Vacuum
6. Wavelength
7. Definitions:

A) A space or area with no air.
B) Particles of light.
C) The distance from a point on one wave to a similar point on another wave.
D) The bending of a wave as it passes from one medium into another, or as it passes through a non-uniform medium.
E) The band of colors formed when a beam of light is dispersed.
F) The bouncing of a wave off the surface of a substance.

Answer 1

Photons are particles of light, reflection is the bouncing of a wave off a surface, refraction is the bending of a wave as it passes from one medium into another, spectrum is the band of colors formed when light is dispersed, vacuum is a space with no air, and wavelength is the distance between points on a wave.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Photons: Particles of light.
2. Reflection: The bouncing of a wave off the surface of a substance.
3. Refraction: The bending of a wave as it passes from one medium into another, or as it passes through a non-uniform medium.
4. Spectrum: The band of colors formed when a beam of light is dispersed.
5. Vacuum: A space or area with no air.
6. Wavelength: The distance from a point on one wave to a similar point on another wave.
