The bouncing off of light rays from the surface of an object such as a mirror or other shiny surface is called:

• mirror
• laser
• reflection
• refraction

The angle produced as a source of light bounces off a reflecting surface is called ______.

• angle of crookedness
• angle of reflection
• angle of incidence

What is reflection?

• Reflection is the bouncing  of light off the surface that it strikes on.
• Reflection is the absorbing of light off the surface that it strikes on.
• Reflection is the bending of light off the surface that it strikes on.
• Reflection is the scattering of light off the surface that it strikes on.

Which diagram represents reflection?

• A

• B

When light waves bend as they pass through a transparent medium we call this:

• Refraction

• Reflection

• Absorption

If you see the color orange, this means:

• The colors red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet have been absorbed and orange has been refracted.

• The colors red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet have been absorbed and orange has been reflected.

• The color orange has been absorbed and red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet are refracted.

• The color orange has been absorbed and red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet are reflected.
