What is light transmission?

Back

Light transmission is the process by which light passes through an object without being absorbed or reflected.

Front

What happens to light when it is reflected?

Back

When light is reflected, it bounces off a surface instead of passing through it.

Front

What is the role of mirrors in a periscope?

Back

Mirrors in a periscope reflect light, allowing us to see objects that are not in our direct line of sight.

Front

What does it mean for light to be absorbed?

Back

When light is absorbed, it is taken in by an object and does not pass through or bounce off.

Front

What is refraction?

Back

Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another, changing its speed.

Front

How does a pond create a mirror image?

Back

A pond creates a mirror image by reflecting light from objects above the water's surface.

Front

What is the difference between transmitted and reflected light?

Back

Transmitted light passes through an object, while reflected light bounces off the surface of an object.

Front

What is an example of light reflection?

Back

An example of light reflection is seeing your image in a mirror.

Front

What does it mean for light to bend?

Back

When light bends, it changes direction, often due to refraction.

Front

What is a practical application of light reflection?

Back

A practical application of light reflection is using mirrors in telescopes to view distant objects.
