Physics O Level: Light and Electromagnetic wave

When a light travels from less dense medium to denser medium, the light will be refracted...

• ...towards normal.

• ...away from normal.

• ...towards the observer.

• ...away from the source.

• ...away from normal.

• ...towards the observer.

• ...away from the source.

Light refraction occurs because...

• the speed and wavelength of the light change like those of any other refracted wave.

• the frequency and the speed of the light change like those of any other refracted wave,

• the frequency and the wavelength of the light change like those of any other refracted wave,

• it's the coolest wave in the universe.

which one is correct about convex lens and concave lens in terms of their effect on light rays.

• convex is diverging while concave is converging.

• convex is converging while concave is diverging.

• both of them are converging.

• both of them are diverging.

select two statements that make up the law of reflection.

• (sin i)/(sin r) = constant, where i is angle of incidence and r is angle of refraction.

• i = r, where i is angle of incidence and r is angle of reflection.

• incident ray, reflected ray and normal to the surface of reflection all lie on the same plane.

• incident ray, refracted ray and normal to the surface of reflection all lie on the same plane.

• it can penetrate most tissues and organ and even some part of bones with only one intensity.

• it is invisible.

• it is highly abundant and cheap.
