What is the definition of Diffraction?

• The bending of waves as they enter a new medium

• Bouncing back of waves from a surface that it can’t pass through

• When two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite direction, crest and trough overlap. Zero amplitude.

• The bending of waves as they pass through openings or around corners

The Law of Reflection states that - The angle that light hits an object is .................. to the angle that light reflects off the object.

• equal

• double

• half

When a person walks into the water at the beach, it appears that their feet are separated from their legs. This occurs because the light waves bend as they pass between air and the water. This is an example of

• reflection of light

• absorption of light

• transmission of light

• refraction of light

According to the Law of reflection, a light ray striking a mirror

• continues moving through the mirror in the same direction

• moves into the mirror at a slightly different angle

• bounces off the mirror toward the direction it came from

• bounces off the mirror at the same angle it hits.
