Reflection and Ray Diagrams Quiz

What is the term used to describe the bouncing back of waves, such as light and sound, when they hit a surface?

• Absorption

• Reflection

• Diffusion

• Refraction

What type of reflection occurs when light reflects off a rough surface?

• Specular reflection

• Diffuse reflection

• Total internal reflection

• Polarized reflection

In a ray diagram, what is the name of the line drawn at 90 degrees to the surface?

• Incident line

• Normal line

• Reflected line

• Perpendicular line

What is the angle between the incident ray and the normal line called?

• Angle of deviation

• Angle of refraction

• Angle of reflection

• Angle of incidence

According to the law of reflection, how do the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection compare?

• They are equal

• They are unrelated

• They are complementary

• They are supplementary

What is the independent variable in the experiment to investigate the law of reflection?

• Ray box position

• Normal line

• Angle of incidence

• Angle of reflection

What type of image is formed by specular reflection in a mirror?

• Magnified image

• Virtual image

• Real image

• Inverted image

Why is the image formed by a mirror called a virtual image?

• It can be projected on a screen

• It is larger than the object

• It cannot be projected elsewhere

• It is inverted

What happens to the virtual image when you stop looking at the mirror?

• It gets magnified

• It becomes real

• It disappears

• It remains visible
