Any material that doesn't transmit light is said to be opaque. Every opaque object has a characteristic color determined by what colors of light it reflects most. Use the "back" button to return to the lesson. prism 1. A solid geometrical shape whose ends have the shape of a closed polygon, like a triangle, square, or hexagon. 2. A prism of glass or other clear material used specifically for dispersing a beam of light into its spectrum. Use the "back" button to return to the lesson. rainbow A spectrum of sunlight formed in nature when the light is dispersed by water droplets. The "name" Roy G. Biv is sometimes used to remember the order of colors in the spectrum. Use the "back" button to return to the lesson. reflection, reflect Bouncing of light when it encounters an opaque surface, that is a surface that doesn't transmit light. When light strikes a surface, the wavelengths that are reflected most become the color of the object; "what you see is what you get." Use the "back" button to return to the lesson.
