What happens to light after it hits a mirror?

It goes through the mirror and bend.

It goes straight through the mirror.

Which of these describes how light travels through an empty space?

It travels in a straight line without stopping.

It travels straight but may change direction to avoid objects.

It changes direction often even if there are no objects.

It comes to a stop after it travels a certain distance.

What does the pencil in this picture show about light?

Light is refracted when it passes from air into water.

Light is refracted when it hits a curved object.

Light is reflected when it hits a curved object.

Light is reflected when it passes from air into water.

What kind of path does light take?

It travels in a straight line until it hits something or goes through it.

What happens to light passing through a prism?

It bends and the light separates.

How is refraction different from reflection.

Reflection is the bouncing of light off an object and refraction is the bending of light when it moves through one kind of matter to another.

Reflections is the bending of light when it moves through one kind of matter to another and refraction is the bouncing of light off an object.

Caleb is sitting near the window on a sunny day. When he closes the curtain, the room becomes darker. What property of the curtain allows it to make the room darker?

The curtain is brightly colored.

The curtain is rectangular shape.

Light rays from any light source travel outward in all directions along a straight path until they hit something. which of the following best represents what occurs when light rays hit a glass of water?

The light rays will bend at the boundary of air and water.

The light rays will pass straight through from air to water.

The water absorbs the light, and it will no longer be seen.

The surface of the water will reflect the light off the water.

The photoelectric experiment is where

light is shined on a piece of metal and electrons are ejected.

two atoms are forced to collide.

you look through diffraction glasses to see the emission spectrum of light.

Light is shining on a metal, but no photoelectrons are released, which of the following should you do to get electrons?

Use light of a shorter wavelength (higher frequency)

Use a higher intensity light, but do not adjust the wavelength.

Use a lower intensity light, but do not adjust the wavelength.

Use light of a longer wavelength (lower frequency)

How are Electromagnetic waves different from Mechanical waves?

EM waves can travel through the vacuum of space (without particles)

EM waves have very short wavelengths

EM waves transmit energy instead of matter

EM waves can change direction by reflection

What happens to the energy of light when it is absorbed by a new medium

The energy is absorbed by the medium and heats up

Nothing, because light doesn't interact with medium

The light passes right through, so nothing happens

The light is absorbed and converted to mechanical energy

Which of these provides the best explanation for why the pencil appears broken?

Light rays are bent by the water in the glass.

The pencil absorbs the light rays that hit it.

Water reflects light rays away from the pencil.

The surface of the water reflects the light rays.
