Light Behavior and Image Formation

The video tutorial covers fundamental concepts of light, including reflection, refraction, and the use of thin converging lenses. It explains the law of reflection, virtual images, and the principles of refraction, including Snell's law and refractive index. The tutorial also discusses the behavior of light through lenses, demonstrating how images are formed and magnified. Finally, it explores the dispersion of light through a prism, showing how different colors refract at different angles to produce a spectrum.

What is the law of reflection?

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

What type of image is formed by a mirror that cannot be projected onto a screen?

• Magnified image

• Inverted image

• Virtual image

• Real image

What happens to light when it moves from a less dense to a more dense medium?

• It speeds up and bends away from the normal.

• It slows down and bends towards the normal.

• It speeds up and bends towards the normal.

• It slows down and bends away from the normal.

What is Snell's Law used for?

• Determining the angle of reflection.

• Measuring the wavelength of light.

• Calculating the speed of light in a vacuum.

• Relating the angles of incidence and refraction.

What is total internal reflection?

• Light passing through a material without bending.

• Light refracting at the boundary.

• Light bending towards the normal.

• Light reflecting entirely within a material.

What is the focal point in a thin converging lens?

• The point where light rays diverge.

• The point where light rays refract.

• The point where light rays converge.

• The point where light rays reflect.

What type of image is formed when an object is closer to a converging lens than the focal point?

• Real and inverted

• Virtual and magnified

• Virtual and inverted

• Real and magnified

What happens to the image when the object is further from the lens than the focal point?

• The image is real and magnified.

• The image is virtual and inverted.

• The image is virtual and magnified.

• The image is real and inverted.

What causes the dispersion of light in a prism?

• Different angles of incidence.

• Different refractive indices for different colors.

• Different wavelengths of light.

• Different speeds of light in a vacuum.

Why does white light split into a spectrum of colors when passing through a prism?

• Because the prism reflects some colors.

• Because the prism absorbs some colors.

• Because different colors have different refractive indices.

• Because all colors have the same refractive index.
