| criticalangle | | part of our vision which we cannot see things |
| opaque | | image appears to diverge |
| convexlens | | buldging out shape |
| luminous | | controls the size of the pupil |
| reflectedlight | | sensitive to low light |
| translucent | | the point where the convergent rays meet |
| angleofrefraction | | the angle formed by a reflected ray |
| blindspot | | the angle formed by a incident ray |
| opticalnerve | | the hole in the middle of the eye that lets light pass through |
| primarycolour | | mostly covered in rods and cones |
| lens | | cyan, magenta and yellow |
| focalpoint | | a cell on the retina provides sharp focus and enables us to see colour |
| iris | | hollowed out shape |
| cornea | | light from the sun |
| retina | | the transparent curved 'window' covering the eye |
| cone | | smallest angle of incidence |
| angleofincidence | | does not let light through |
| indicentlight | | the cone system on the retina is faulty |
| whitelight | | ben light when passed through an object |
| concavelens | | the image that can be seen on the screen |
| virtualimage | | the light that bounces off a surface |
| pupil | | produces light |
| angleofrefraction | | red, blue and green light |
| transparent | | produces light when heated |
| luminescent | | a carefully curved transparent object |
| totalinternalreflection | | lets some light through |
| normal | | finds the angles of incidence and reflection |
| opticalcentre | | the angle formed by a refracted ray |
| colourblindness | | produces light in a chemical reaction |
| realimage | | transmits visual images to the brain in eletric signals |
| incandesecent | | also known as the pole |
| secondarylight | | light strikes a medium boundary at an angle larger than the critical angle |
| refractedlight | | lets most light through |
| rod | | the direct light falls on a surface |
