Lesson Summary

Light a.k.a. visible light is electromagnetic radiation that can be both particle and wave.
Light travels in a straight line.
Light can travel in a vacuum or in an empty space.
Light travels faster than sound.
Transparent objects allow light to pass through them.
Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through them, instead, the energy gets absorbed.
An incident ray is a ray of light that falls on a mirror.
A reflected ray is a light ray reflecting away from the mirror
