Properties of Light Color is the result of light reflected off the surface of objects into the eye, resulting in color vision.
Reflection
occurs when light strikes an object and the light reflected back from an object results in the color we see.
Diffraction
occurs when light is partially obstructed by an object. This interference of light bends the waves around the edges of the object or opening and spreads outward, producing light, dark or colored bands.
Refraction
results when one or more light rays moves through a light medium to another, denser medium such as air to water causing light to bend.
