Reflect, refract, absorb

Swimming pools and the ocean look shallower than they really are due to:

• reflection 
• dispersion
• refraction
• total internal reflection

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.

The bouncing of light is known as

• Mirror
• Refraction
• Index of refraction
• reflection

What is this image showing?

Why does the lower part of the child appear so much different in size from the upper part?

• The light rays that travel through water and then into air are refracted.
• The light rays that travel through water and then into air are enlarged.
• The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reflected.
• The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reduced.

The pictures shows what a student observed when he looked through a hand lens at a penny.
What happens to light passing through a hand lens that makes the image of the penny appear larger? The light is-

• absorbed
• reflected
• refracted
• stopped

The illustration shows a light ray striking an object.
In the illustration, the light ray striking the object is-

• absorbed
• stopped
• reflected
• refracted

A student placed a pencil in a cup of water.  The pencil appears broken because light-

• always travels in a straight line
• bends when it passes through water
• makes the water in the glass evaporate
• reflects the pencil on the water's surface
