Light Energy Science Doodle

A teacher set up 4 mirrors, a laser, and a block. The light from the laser hits the block because light –

• travels in a straight line and reflects off of mirrors.

• travels in a straight line and refracts off of mirrors.

• travels in a curve and absorbs light from mirrors.

• travels in a curve and refracts off of mirrors.

Which image best demonstrates the reflection of light?

A concave lens is a curved, transparent glass that light can pass through. An example is shown. When light strikes a concave lens, it –

• bounces back

• makes light smaller

• reflects

• bends light

The photograph shows a child with a jar of water holding a fish. Why does the child’s face appear smaller behind the jar of water?

• Light travels in a straight line until it is reflected off the water.

• Light travels in a straight line until it is passes through a new medium and is refracted.

• Light travels in a curve until it bends.

• Light travels in a straight line until it passes through a new medium and is reflected.

The diagram shows what happens when white light travels through the air into a prism. Which statement about a prism is NOT true?

• A. White light bends and separates into many colors.

• B. Light refracts.

• C. Light travels from one medium to another.

• D. Light reflects into many different colors.

A student painted one wall black and one wall white. Which color of paint will most likely appear brighter?

• A. White paint because more light is absorbed

• B. Black paint because more light is absorbed

• C. White paint because more light is reflected

• D. Black paint because more light is reflected

In this photo, a person uses his hands to make a heart shadow on the ground. The shadow has the same shape as his hands because –

• A. light is refracted.

• B. light travels in a straight line.

• C. light passes through his hands.

• D. light bends as it moves through clear objects.

What happens to light when it hits a curved mirror?

• Light bends as it passes through the mirror.

• Light is refracted.

• Light is reflected off of the mirror.

• Light is transmitted through the mirror.
