Reflection of Light Quiz

What is reflection of light?

• When light is absorbed by a surface

• When light disappears into thin air

• When light bounces off a surface

• When light passes through a surface

What is the law of reflection?

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

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

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

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

What is the angle of incidence?

• The angle at which a ray of light or other radiation strikes a surface.

• The angle at which a plane takes off.

• The angle at which a car approaches a turn.

• The angle at which a sound wave strikes a surface.

What is the angle of reflection?

• Angle between the reflected ray and the incident ray

• Angle between the reflected ray and the source of light

• Angle between the reflected ray and the normal

• Angle between the reflected ray and the object

What is a normal in the context of reflection of light?

• A line at a 45-degree angle to the surface

• A line parallel to the surface

• A line that curves away from the surface

• Perpendicular line to the surface

What are some examples of reflection of light in everyday life?

• Hearing your reflection in a mirror

• Light bouncing off a rough surface like a brick wall

• Seeing your reflection in a mirror, light bouncing off a shiny surface like a car or a window, and seeing your reflection in a still body of water.

• Seeing your reflection in a moving body of water

How does a mirror reflect light?

• By bouncing off the smooth surface at the same angle it hits the mirror

• By creating its own light to reflect back

• By refracting the light through the mirror

• By absorbing the light and emitting it back out

Explain how we see our reflection in a mirror.

• Light reflects off the mirror and into our eyes, allowing us to see our reflection.

• Our reflection is a magical illusion created by the mirror.

• Our reflection is a hologram projected onto the mirror's surface.

• Our reflection is actually a tiny person living inside the mirror who mimics our movements.
