Light and Color Quiz

What happens when light reflects off a smooth surface?

• It scatters in all directions

• It reflects at a definite angle

• It disappears

• It bends and enters the surface

The law of reflection states that:

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

• The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection

• The angle of incidence is half the angle of reflection

• The angle of reflection is always 90 degrees

When light passes from air into glass, it bends due to:

• The change in the color of light

• The reflection of light

• The change in the speed of light

• The absorption of light

What causes light to bend (refract) when it enters a new medium like glass or water?

• Reflection

• Absorption

• Change in speed

• Scattering

What is the color composition of white light?

• Only red and blue light

• A combination of many different colors

• Only green and yellow light

• Only primary colors

When white light passes through a prism, it:

• Bends into a single color

• Splits into a spectrum of colors

• Reflects off the surface

• Absorbs all colors

Which of the following colors bends the most when passing through a prism?

• Red

• Violet

• Green

• Yellow

What happens when red and green light mix?

• Blue light is produced

• Yellow light is produced

• White light is produced

• Black light is produced

How does a color filter work?

• It reflects all colors

• It absorbs certain colors and lets others pass

• It changes the color of light completely

• It blocks all light

Why does a red apple appear red?

• It absorbs red light

• It reflects red light

• It reflects all colors except red
