Total questions: 12
Worksheet time: 20mins
Optics is the study of light and includes many different models. Which of the following questions cannot be answered by the ray model of light?
How much energy does green light have?
Why is the image on my binoculars magnified?
Why is my reflection on a mirror laterally inverted?
Where on the wall will the dot from my laser pointer land?
How does the Ray Model describe light?
Waves that carry energy through vacuum.
Electric and magnetic fields oscillating perpendicular to each other.
Travelling in straight lines which change direction due to obstructions.
Photons which carry a fixed amount of energy but have no mass.
How do we see non-luminous objects?
Non-luminous objects give away light.
Non-luminous objects reflect light falling on them.
Non-luminous objects disperse light falling on them.
Non-luminous objects are not visible.
Student A can observe the flame of the candle while student B cannot. What does this show?
Light travels in a straight line.
The candle gives out a parallel beam of light only.
Candlelight is cold light and is not emitted at a high temperature.
Cardboard is a transparent material that allow light to pass through them.
