Disc or disk??

Most of the time we see word "disk" written as disc or the opposite. Which one is correct?
Actually both of them are, but it depends on what does it use to function. When light is used like in CD, DVD and blu-ray we use the word "disc", otherwise we use the word "disk".
example:
CD which means Compact Disc
DVD which means Digital Versatile Disc 
Hard Disk  Drive
Floppy Disk
Solid State Disk (gonna cover it future).
