1. a) Which of the following objects are seen as: a) a source of light; b) by
light reflected from it?
The Moon, the Sun, a table lit by a torch in a dark room, a stage lit by
several powerful spotlights, a lightbulb, a flame, a star.
b) Why is the sense of light extremely important to us? (Because it
provides us with …).
c) What phenomena caused by wave effects (particularly sound and light
waves) are you aware of?
2. Read the following summary and fill in the gaps with the given words.
Then read the text to see if you were right:

Light can be carried from place to place by particles or by waves. When light
strikes the 1) … of an object, it deviates from its original direction. This change
in direction is called 2) …When a narrow beam of light strikes a flat surface, we
