What happens to light when it passes from air into glass at an angle?

It slows down and bends toward the normal

It reflects completely back into the air

It speeds up and bends away from the normal

It travels straight without bending

Bending of light when it passes from one material to another

Bending of light when it bounces off a surface

Light traveling in a straight line

Light scattering in all directions

Which of the following is NOT a condition needed for refraction to occur?

Light must pass between materials of different densities

When white light passes through a glass prism, what happens to the different colors of light?

Each color bends a different amount based on its wavelength

All colors bend the same amount

Red light bends the most, violet bends the least

No bending occurs; light reflects off the prism

Which of the following conditions is necessary for total internal reflection to occur?

Light must travel from a medium with a higher index of refraction to a lower one

Light must travel from a medium with a lower index of refraction to a higher one

Light must strike the boundary at an angle less than the critical angle

Light must pass through a transparent material without bending

If the magnification (M) of an image produced by a mirror is –0.75, what does this tell you about the image?

The image is inverted and smaller than the object

The image is upright and larger than the object

The image is upright and smaller than the object

The image is inverted and larger than the object

In a concave mirror ray diagram, what happens to a ray that is parallel to the principal axis?

It passes through the focal point after reflection

It reflects back parallel to the axis

It bends and travels through the center of curvature

In a convex lens ray diagram, what happens to a ray that passes through the optical center of the lens?

It continues straight without bending

It bends toward the focal point

In a concave lens ray diagram, what happens to a ray that travels parallel to the principal axis toward the lens?

It diverges and appears to come from the focal point on the same side

It passes through the focal point after refraction

It reflects back through the focal point

It bends toward the principal axis

A spinning LED fan displays words and images in midair, even though the lights are just a few dots moving quickly. Which concept explains why your eyes see full images instead of individual moving lights?

Persistence of vision causes your brain to combine the fast-moving lights into a complete image

Refraction of light through the spinning fan

Light waves slow down and create a continuous picture

The fan projects images onto the air using reflections

How do 3D movies create the illusion of depth?

By showing each eye a slightly different image to mimic binocular vision

By using mirrors to reflect images at different angles

By using colored filters to bend light differently

By increasing the brightness of the image

In movies or theme parks, forced perspective is often used to make objects appear larger or smaller than they really are. How does forced perspective trick your eyes?

By manipulating the size and distance of objects to create an illusion of depth and scale

By changing the color of objects to make them stand out

By using mirrors to reflect objects at different angles

By bending light as it passes through different materials
