Compare the angle of incidence from angle of reflection in a regular reflection.

• The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

• The angle of incidence is less than the angle of reflection.

• The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of reflection.

• The angle of incidence is never equal to the angle of reflection.

Why does light bend (refracts) when it enters from air to water?

• Light has a tendency to go in all direction.

• It enters a material with different optical density.

• Light changes its direction due to the resistivity of the material.

• The bending of light is dependent upon the conductivity of the material.

White light is separated into spectrum of colors by a prism. What does this mean?

• White light has no color.

• Prism emits different colors.

• Prism absorbs the white light.

• Component colors of light are refracted at different angles

How will the velocity of light change, as it enters a denser medium?

• Light will slow down.

• There will be an increase in its speed.

• The speed of light will change in unknown value.

• The light will change its direction and bend toward the normal.

If you were to fish by bow and arrow technique, where would you aim to actually strike a fish?

• Strike exactly where you see the fish.

• Aim below the fish; it is actually deeper than you think.

• Shoot a little above its head; refraction causes a different perception of its depth.

• In the morning, hit it above, but in the afternoon, aim it below because the light is dimmer.

How does the photoelectric effect demonstrate the particle characteristics of light?

• Light bounces off like a wave, as it shines on the metal surface.

• Light may knock the electrons out of the metal surface as if light were made of particles.

• Intense radiation may (large-amplitude waves) may cause emitted electrons to have more energy.

• The Energy of the electron emitted from metal surface is dependent on the speed of the light that shined on it.

What does the theories of modern physics tells us about light?

• Demonstrate wave property only

• Exclusively shows particle property

• It combines wave and particle properties

• It has neither wave nor particle properties

What color of light do photographers usually use in dark rooms? Why?

• Yellow light since paper is not sensitive to this color.

• Regular light may be used since it won’t affect the printing.

• Red light does not cause the film to be exposed since it has low energy.

• Violet light has the highest energy which is used to give color to the pictures.
