CFU: Reflection Notes

Why can you see most objects?

• Light reflects off them
• Light is absorbed by them
• Light is bent by the object
• Light is scattered from the surface of the object

We see a green shamrock as being green because:

• All of the colors are absorbed except for green.

• All of the colors are being reflected except for green.

What is the incident ray?

• The ray of light leaving the mirror
• The ray of light approaching the mirror

Angles are always measured from the:

• Boundary
• Normal
• Incident Ray
• Reflected Ray

The point from which all of the light rays diverge is called the:

• image point
• luminous object
• origin
• focal point

The picture shows which type of reflection?

• Specular Reflection

• Optical Reflection

• Diffuse Reflection

• Scatter Reflection

The ray of light that strikes a mirror is called the:

• Reflected Ray

• Incident Ray

• Angle of Incidence

• Angle of Reflection

The ray that bounces off the mirror is called the:

• Angle of Reflection

• Incident Ray

• Reflected Ray

• Angle of Incidence

The angle between the incident ray and the normal. (X on the diagram) is called the:

• Angle of Optic Sight

• Angle of Reflection

• Angle of Incidence

• Angle of Normal

The angle between the reflected ray and the normal (labelled Y on the diagram) is called the:

• Angle of Incidence

• Angle of Reflection

• Angle of Normal

• Angle of Optic Sight
