Q

When traveling in open space light travels in a straight line however when light comes in contact with an object it may be bended.

A

Bending of light

49
Q

It bounces off in all directions due to the microscopic irregularities of the interface

A

Reflection

50
Q

It is the change and direction of the wave due to change and its speed this is most commonly observed when a wave passes from one medium to another

A

Refraction

51
Q

It is described as the apparent bending of waves around small obstacle and the spreading out of the waves past small openings it is also described as the bending of light when it hits a sharp edge of an opaque object

A

Diffraction

52
Q

Allow sufficient visible light to pass through them that the object on the other side may be clearly seen

A

Transparent object

53
Q

Allows light to pass however diffuse its sufficiently that the object on the other side may not be clearly distinguished

A

Translucent object

54
Q

So greatly diffuse the light that recognizing the object on the other side is very difficult if not impossible

A

Opaque

55
Q

56
Q

Light sources of this category are man made and is divided into continuous radiation and the short duration

Photograph the evidence

87

A

Reshoot for new evidence

89
Q

A

Shoot fast

90
Q

If a victim must be moved or requires treatment the photographer can go back to document the victims injuries various techniques using specialized and colored filters can highlight injuries bruising scarring and healing status
