Reflection Refraction

Which of the following reflects light to produce an image?

• A stopwatch
• A mirror
• Thermometer
• Weather Vane

Which of these best explains why a student can see her reflection in a computer monitor when the monitor is turned off?

• Black objects absorb most of the light striking them
• The glass allows light to be transmitted through it.
• Smooth, shiny objects reflect a great amount of light.
• Computers produce light when they are being used.

The illustration shows light rays striking an object.Most of the light striking the object is –

• Transmitted
• Reflected
• Absorbed
• Refracted

The diagram shows the ways light travels or behaves when it shines into water.
What causes the chest to appear in a different location then it actual is?

• Reflection
• Absorption
  
• Reflection and Refraction
• Refraction

A student sees a mirror image of a tree in a pond on a very still day.The student is able to see a mirror image of the tree in the pond because light striking the surface of the water –

• Absorbed
• Bent Downward
• Becomes Brighter
• Bounces off

Why does the lower part of the child appear so much different in size from the upper part?

• The light rays that travel through water and then into air are refracted.
• The light rays that travel through water and then into air are enlarged.
• The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reflected.
• The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reduced.

Swimming pools and the ocean look shallower than they really are due to:

• reflection 
• dispersion
• refraction
• total internal reflection

What is this image an example of?

• Reflection
• Diffusion
• Refraction

A student placed a pencil in a cup of water.  The pencil appears broken because light-

• always travels in a straight line
• bends when it passes through water
• makes the water in the glass evaporate
• reflects the pencil on the water's surface
