P8.2 Light - Reflection and Concave/Convex shapes

How does light travel?

• In zig-zag lines

• In straight lines

• In curved paths

• In random directions

Which of these objects is a source of light?

• The Moon

• A mirror

• The Sun

• A car tyre

What is the term for light bouncing off a surface?

• Refraction

• Absorption

• Reflection

• Transmission

What type of wave is light?

• Transverse

• Longitudinal

• Mechanical

• Sound

When light hits a mirror, the angle at which it bounces off is called the:

• Angle of refraction

• Angle of dispersion

• Angle of reflection

• Angle of incidence

Which of these best describes the image in a plane (flat) mirror

• Upright and the same size as the object

• Upside down and larger

• Smaller and upside down

• Larger and upright

A concave mirror makes objects look:

• Smaller and far away

• Larger and closer

• The same size

• Upside down at all distances

A convex mirror is commonly used in which of these places?

• Car wing mirrors

• Makeup mirrors

• Telescopes

• Torches

What type of mirror curves inward like a bowl?

• Convex mirror

• Flat mirror

• One way mirror

• Concave mirror

What happens to the image when an object is very close to a concave mirror?

• It stays the same size

• It appears larger and upright

• It becomes smaller and upside down

• It disappears completely
