Light Reflection

What is reflection of light?

• Reflection of light is the bending of light waves around an object.

• Reflection of light is the absorption of light by a surface.

• Reflection of light is the process where light bounces off a surface, changing direction but not its wavelength.

• Reflection of light is the emission of light from a source.

What is the angle of incidence?

• The angle of incidence is the angle between the normal and the reflected ray

• The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence.

• The angle of incidence is the angle between the reflected ray and the surface

• The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray

What is the angle of reflection?

• Angle of reflection is perpendicular to the angle of incidence.

• Angle of reflection is always greater than the angle of incidence.

• Angle of reflection is unrelated to the angle of incidence.

• Angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.

State the law of reflection.

• The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

• Reflection occurs at a random angle.

• The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of reflection.

• The law of reflection applies only to concave mirrors.

What is a plane mirror?

• A plane mirror is a rough surface.

• A plane mirror is a transparent surface.

• A plane mirror is a flat reflective surface.

• A plane mirror is a concave reflective surface.

Explain how a mirror forms an image.

• A mirror forms an image by reflecting light rays that hit its surface.

• A mirror forms an image by bending light rays that hit its surface.

• A mirror forms an image by absorbing light rays that hit its surface.

• A mirror forms an image by emitting light rays that hit its surface.

What is a virtual image?

• A virtual image is a physical object that can be touched.

• A virtual image is a reflection that can be captured on film.

• A virtual image is a hologram projected into thin air.

• A virtual image is an optical image formed by the apparent intersection of light rays that do not actually pass through the location of the image.

What is a real image?

• A real image is always smaller than the object that produced it

• A real image can only be formed by concave mirrors

• A real image is a virtual representation created by our brain

• A real image is formed when light rays actually meet at a specific point after being reflected or refracted by a mirror or lens.

How does the size of an image formed by a mirror compare to the size of the object?

• Same size

• Different shape

• Smaller size

• Larger size

What is the difference between regular and diffuse reflection?

• Regular reflection occurs in the morning, while diffuse reflection occurs in the evening.

• Regular reflection involves smooth surfaces and clear images, while diffuse reflection involves rough surfaces and blurred images.

• Regular reflection involves transparent materials, while diffuse reflection involves opaque materials.

• Regular reflection results in colored light, while diffuse reflection results in black and white images.
