Reflection and Refraction of Light

Front

What is reflection of light?

Back

Reflection of light is the bouncing back of light rays when they hit a surface.

Front

What is refraction of light?

Back

Refraction of light is the bending of light rays as they pass from one medium to another.

Front

What is a medium in the context of light?

Back

A medium is a substance through which light travels, such as air, water, or glass.

Front

What happens to light when it hits a transparent object?

Back

Light passes through the object, which may cause refraction.

Front

What is a reflector?

Back

A reflector is an object that reflects light, such as a mirror.

Front

What is a transmitter in terms of light?

Back

A transmitter is an object that allows light to pass through it, such as clear glass.

Front

What is the law of reflection?

Back

The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Front

What is the angle of incidence?

Back

The angle of incidence is the angle between the incoming light ray and the normal line at the point of incidence.

Front

What is the angle of reflection?

Back

The angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected light ray and the normal line at the point of reflection.

What is a shadow?

Back

A shadow is a dark area created when an object blocks light from a light source.
