Reflection, refraction, diffraction

Front

What is the Law of Reflection?

Back

The Law of Reflection states that when light strikes a reflective surface, it bounces off at the same angle at which it hits the surface.

Front

What is a translucent object?

Back

A translucent object allows some light to pass through but scatters it, making objects behind it appear blurry.

Front

What is a transparent object?

Back

A transparent object allows light to pass through without scattering, enabling clear visibility of objects behind it.

Front

What is the difference between reflection and refraction?

Back

Reflection is the bouncing back of light when it hits a surface, while refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another.

Front

What phenomenon occurs when light bends as it passes through a raindrop?

Back

Refraction occurs when light bends as it passes through a raindrop.

Front

How do humans perceive different wavelengths of light?

Back

Humans perceive different wavelengths of light as different colors.

Front

What is an example of a transparent object?

Back

An example of a transparent object is a clear glass.

Front

What is an example of a translucent object?

Back

An example of a translucent object is a frosted glass.

Front

What is an example of a reflective surface?

Back

An example of a reflective surface is a mirror.

Front

What happens to light when it strikes a mirror?

Back

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