The following text is for questions 47 and 50

Light and sound is found everywhere. Light and sound waves travel from place to place and can be seen
and heard. Light is visible to the human eye and is responsible for the sense of sight. It is a form of energy we
can see when it is reflected off the surface of an object.
Light waves travel through the air from place to place and do not carry matter. Light is believed to travel
faster than anything in the universe. It travels at a speed of 186,000 miles per second. Light is unable to travel
through solids, but it can travel through liquids and gases.
There are two properties of light. The first property of light is called reflection. Reflection is when light
bounces off a surface which then allows the object to be visible to the eye. For example, when the moon is
seen in the sky, it is because the light from the sun reflects off the surface of the moon. A light ray comes off a
surface at an equal angle to the angle at which it struck the surface.
The second property of light is called refraction. Refraction is when a ray of light passes from a transparent
medium to another transparent medium such as from air to water, it changes speed and the way it bends.
For example, when a pencil is placed into a glass of water, the pencil will seem like it is broken into two
pieces. Because the light is traveling through the water, there is refraction, and the light bends causing the
pencil to look like it is in two pieces. Another example of refraction is the use of eyeglasses to improve a
person's vision. Using a glass that is curved at a certain angle the vision of a person is corrected by the way
light is refracted in the eye.
