4.

According to Louis de Broglie, why is light said to have a dual nature?

a)

It shows the properties of wave only.

b)

It exhibits the properties of reflection.

c)

It has both interference and polarization effect.

5.

Who among the scientists below formulated the wave theory of light?

a)

Isaac Newton

b)

Louis de Broglie

c)

Christian Huygens

d)

James Clerk Maxwell

6.

Which of the following is NOT a property of light?

a)

Direction

b)

Frequency

c)

Intensity

d)

Width

7.

Which of the following materials would reflect light the most?

a)

black rock

b)

dark brown carpet

c)

flat sheet of aluminum foil

d)

piece of red construction paper

8.

The distance of an observer from two identical kinds of light sources varies. Light

source A is 200 centimeters away while the light source B is 300 centimeters away

from the observer. Does light source A give higher light intensity than light source B?

a)

Yes, because it is away from the observer

b)

Yes, because it is much closer to the observer

c)

No, because the distances of light source vary

d)

No, because its distance is closer from the observer

9.

The intensity of light is inversely proportional to the distance from the eye of the

observer. Which of the following statements explain the relationship between

intensity and distance?

I. As the distance increases, the intensity of light decreases because it spreads out

over a larger surface area.

II. When the distance increases, the intensity of light increases because the light

rays compressed in larger surface area.

III. If the distance increases, the intensity of light decreases because light waves

spread out more in its surrounding.

a)

I, II, and III

b)

I and II only

c)

I and III only

d)

II and III only

10.

refer to the illustration below. Suppose two identical kinds of light

sources, A and B, shines on a surface of a board when placed 100 cm to the left and 50

cm to the right of the board, respectively.

Will the light intensity measured on the cardboard facing light source A is higher than the side facing light source B?

a)

No, because light source A is farther from the cardboard than light source B.

b)

Yes, because light source A is farther from the cardboard than light source B.

c)

Yes, because light source B is much closer to the cardboard than light source

A.

d)

No, because the distance of light sources has no effect on their light intensities.

11.

refer to the illustration. Suppose two identical kinds of light

sources, A and B, shines on a surface of a board when placed 100 cm to the left and 50

cm to the right of the board, respectively.

How does the amount of light intensity of light source B compare to light source A

as measured on the surface of the cardboard?

a)

They have equal light intensities

b)

They have varying light intensities per time.

The side facing light source A has greater light intensity

d)

The side facing light source B has greater light intensity.

A and B?

I. Light source A is brighter than light source B.

II. Light source B is brighter than light source A.

III. Light sources A and B produce unequal brightness.

IV. No differences in brightness between light sources A and B.

a)

I, and II only

b)

II and III only

c)

III and IV only
