Answer 1

1. effect observed when light from an object in cool air passes through warm air

→ h. total internal reflection

2. line perpendicular to a surface

→ g. normal.

3. splitting of light into its component colors angle of incidence

→ b. dispersion.

4. alignment of light into a single vibrational direction

→ i. polarization

5. larger angle as light passes from air to water

→ c. angle of incidence

6. cause of the sky's color

→ f. reflection

7. bouncing of light rays reflection

→ f. reflection

8. bending of light between media

→ j. refraction.

9. ratio of speeds of light

→ d. index of refraction.

10. inability of light to escape a low-velocity medium due to a large angle of approach refraction

→ scattering.
