Fill-in-the-Blank
Light travels in waves, and these waves are a form of energy known as electromagnetic [blank].
In a vacuum, light travels at an incredible speed, approximately $3.0 \times 10^8$ meters per [blank].
When light bounces off a surface, such as a mirror, this phenomenon is called [blank].
According to the Law of Reflection, the angle at which light strikes a surface (angle of incidence) is equal to the angle at which it bounces off, called the angle of [blank].
The bending of light as it passes from one transparent medium to another (e.g., from air to water) is known as [blank].
When white light passes through a prism, it separates into a spectrum of colors because of [blank].
Red light has the longest wavelength in the visible spectrum, while [blank] light has the shortest wavelength.
The entire range of electromagnetic waves, from radio waves to gamma rays, is called the electromagnetic [blank].
When light energy is not reflected or transmitted through an object, it can be [blank] by the object, often converting into heat.
Lenses are used in eyeglasses and cameras to manipulate light through the process of [blank].
