Multiple Choice

If light cannot pass through a material, where does it go?

• It turns into heat energy
• The light is absorbed by the material; it stays in that material.

• It transforms into sound waves
• It disappears into another dimension

Multiple Choice

What are these materials called?

• Opaque

• Translucent

• Transparent

​READ AND UNDERLINE ...

• Underline the definition of TRANSPARENT.

Multiple Choice

If no light is absorbed by a material, where does most of the light go?

• Absorbed by the material
• Dissipated into the air
• Transformed into heat energy
• It passes through the material

Multiple Choice

What are these materials called?

• Opaque

• Transparent

• Translucent

Multiple Choice

Choose the option that tells whether the light or lampshade is opaque, translucent, or transparent. and its explanation of how light interacts with each material.​

• The lampshade is translucent. It absorbs some light and lets some little light pass.

• This clear light bulb is transparent. The glass absorbs almost no light and lets the light pass though.

• This solid lampshade is opaque. It absorbs or reflects all of the light that hits it.

​READ, UNDERLINE AND ANSWER

• Underline the definition of REFLECTION.

• Underline the effect when light strikes a surface such as a mirror.

• Underline the examples of rough surfaces.

Multiple Choice

REFLECTION means..

• Reflection is the absorption of light by a surface
• Reflection is the bending of light as it passes through a medium
• Reflection is the process of light passing through a transparent material
• The result of light bouncing, or bending, back after striking a smooth object

Multiple Choice

Which of the following best describes the phenomenon when light traveling from an object strikes a smooth, shiny surface like a mirror?

• Reflection
• Absorption
• Diffraction
• Refraction

Dropdown

When light hits a mirror, all of the light hitting the surface from ​

Select answer

is reflected in a single ​

Select answer

direction.

Multiple Choice

These are examples of Rough Surfaces

• Sandpaper, concrete, tree bark
• Polished metal
• Smooth marble
• Glass shards

​READ AND ANSWER

Multiple Choice

The surface of water acts like a ....

• wood
• metal
• glass
• mirror

Multiple Choice

The image you see in a mirror is ...

• a direct view of the objects
• an illusion created by the mirror
• a reflection of the objects in front of it

Multiple Choice

​The backpack appears yellow because...

• Refraction and dispersion of light
• Reflection and absorption of light
• Absorption of sound waves
• Scattering of heat

Multiple Choice

Compare the surfaces of the metal container and the paper bag. The smooth surface reflects light in a single direction back to your eyes. The rough surface reflects light in all directions. Identify and explain the reason for the material that would produce a better reflection.

• Metal container - because metals have a smoother surface and are more reflective than wood.

• Wooden container - because wood has a smoother surface that allows light to bounce off more uniformly.

• Both wooden and metal containers would produce similar reflections as long as their surfaces are polished evenly.

​READ, UNDERLINE AND ANSWER

• Underline the effect of an object when reflecting light.

• Underline how Black objects work with light.

• Underline how white clothes work with light.

Multiple Choice

What does the absorption of light have to do with color?

• Absorption of light changes the texture of objects, not their color.
• Absorption of light has no impact on color perception.
• Absorption of light determines the color we see.
• Absorption of light only affects brightness, not color.

Multiple Choice

What happens to the light as it strikes the surface of each kind of fruit?

• The light is reflected differently based on the surface of each kind of fruit.
• The light passes through the fruit without any effect
• The light changes color when it hits the fruit
• The light is absorbed by the fruit

Open Ended

When we look at these fruits and vegetables, we see a variety of colors.

Choose one fruit or vegetable. Explain why it’s the color it is.​

​READ, UNDERLINE AND ANSWER

Underline:

• The definition of REFRACTION.

• How Speed of Light Varies.

• Why light bends.

Multiple Choice

The bending of light as it passes at an angle from one type of matter into another is called

• Absorption
• Diffraction
• Refraction
• Reflection

Multiple Choice

When does light bend?

• When it travels in a straight line
• when it changes speed

Multiple Choice

What causes light to change speed?

• Change in magnetic field
• Change in gravitational force
• Change in temperature
• Changing from one type of matter to another type of matter

Multiple Choice

When refraction occurs, why do our eyes perceive a bend in an object?

• Light reflects off the object at an angle
• The object physically changes shape
• Our eyes create an illusion of bending
• One section of the object is reflecting light at one rate; another section of the object is reflecting light at another rate.

• Definition of Prism

• How a rainbow is made?

• Definition of Diffraction.

• How Blurriness is caused.

Multiple Choice

What is a Prism?

• A prism is a type of animal.
• A prism is a type of fruit.
• A prism is a solid geometric figure with two parallel and congruent faces called bases.

Multiple Choice

What does a prism have to do with refraction?

• Prism has no impact on the speed of light passing through it.
• A prism uses refraction to separate white light into the colors of visible light.

• Prism reflects light instead of refracting it.
• Prism absorbs light and does not affect refraction.

Multiple Choice

How are diffraction and refraction similar and different?

• Diffraction and refraction both involve the reflection of waves
• Diffraction is caused by changes in medium, while refraction is caused by obstacles
• Diffraction and refraction are both related to the speed of light
• Diffraction and refraction are similar in that they both involve the bending of waves, but they are different in terms of the causes of bending - diffraction is related to obstacles/apertures, while refraction is related to changes in medium.

Open Ended

The diagram shows how light bends as it enters and then exits a transparent material. Use a protractor to measure the angles formed as the light is refracted.​
