Reflection of Light Quiz

What is the law 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 has no relation to the angle of reflection.

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

Explain the difference between regular and diffuse reflection.

• Regular reflection occurs when light rays are reflected in a single direction, while diffuse reflection occurs when light rays are reflected in many different directions.

• Regular reflection occurs when light rays are reflected in all directions, while diffuse reflection occurs when light rays are reflected in a single direction.

• Regular reflection is caused by rough surfaces, while diffuse reflection is caused by smooth surfaces.

• Regular reflection only occurs with opaque surfaces, while diffuse reflection only occurs with transparent surfaces.

How does a plane mirror reflect light?

• It absorbs the light and creates a new angle

• It reflects off the smooth surface at the same angle it hits the mirror.

• It refracts the light at a different angle

• It scatters the light in random directions

What are the characteristics of an image formed by a plane mirror?

• Virtual, upright, and laterally inverted

• Real, inverted, and laterally inverted

• Real, upright, and magnified

• Virtual, inverted, and upright

Draw a diagram to illustrate the reflection of light in a plane mirror.

• A diagram illustrating the reflection of light in a plane mirror

• A diagram illustrating the refraction of light in a plane mirror

• A diagram illustrating the absorption of light in a plane mirror

• A diagram illustrating the reflection of light in a curved mirror

State the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection in the reflection of light.

• Angle of reflection and angle of refraction

• Angle of refraction and angle of diffraction

• Angle of deflection and angle of transmission

• Angle of incidence and angle of reflection

Explain how the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are related in the reflection of light.

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

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

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

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

What is the virtual image formed by a plane mirror?

• Inverted image

• Virtual image

• Blurry image

• Real image

Describe the process of forming an image in a plane mirror using a ray diagram.

• Close your eyes and imagine the image

• Use a magnifying glass to see the image

• Ask the mirror nicely to form the image

• Draw incident rays from the object to the mirror, then draw reflected rays from the mirror to the image location.

Explain the concept of lateral inversion in the reflection of light using a plane mirror.

• The image appears laterally inverted, meaning left and right are switched.

• The image appears vertically inverted, meaning up and down are switched.

• The image appears magnified, making objects look larger than they are.

• The image appears rotated, causing objects to appear at an angle.
