This document is a worksheet about reflection and refraction of light. It contains matching exercises to define key terms like reflection, refraction, mirror, lens, prism, medium, and surface. It also asks students to identify examples of reflection, refraction, and absorption in diagrams and match descriptions of light behavior to terms like rays, beam, and changing speed between mediums.

Class: _________________________ Reflection & Refraction of light Worksheet
Match each word with the correct definition:
Light Reflection Prism Surface
Medium Refraction Mirror Lens
1. ___________________ the bending of light rays.
2. ___________________ form of energy that travels in a straight line and can move through empty space. 3. __________________ tool used to show refraction and separate light into colors. 4. ___________________ the bouncing of light rays. 5. ___________________ material that light travels through. 6. ___________________ an object made out of glass or plastic that bends light rays. 7. ___________________ shiny flat surface that reflects light. 8. __________________ something light rays bounce off of when they strike. Part 2 – Under each picture write which form of light travel is taking place: reflection, refraction or absorption.
Part 3 – Matching exercise.
A B Reflection occurs • • from air to glass Light is represented using • • in air and water Refraction occurs when light travels • • rays and beam Light travels along • • on a mirror Light travels at different speeds • • straight lines
