CP Ch12.3 Light Reflection

What happens when light rays meet a mirror?

• They refract at angles equal to their angles of incidence.

• They absorb the light rays.

• They reflect at angles equal to their angles of incidence.

• They scatter the light rays.

How does a curved mirror behave according to the text?

• As a single flat mirror

• As a series of flat mirrors tilted at different angles

• As a concave mirror

• As a convex mirror

In a flat mirror, which axis is not reversed?

• Left-right axis

• Front-back axis

• Top-bottom axis

• Diagonal axis

What does the law of reflection state?

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

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

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

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

Why are the normals at different points on the surface of a curved mirror not parallel to one another?

• Due to the shape of the mirror

• Because of the angle of incidence

• As a result of refraction

• To allow for different angles of reflection

How are light rays illustrated in Figure 12.10?

• With circles

• With squares

• With arrows

• With triangles

What still holds true in curved mirrors despite the size and distance of object and image not being equal?

• Law of refraction

• Law of reflection

• Law of diffraction

• Law of interference

What kind of even happens when light hits paper?

• Refraction

• Deflection

• Diffused Reflection

• Interference
