1.

What is the Law of Reflection?

a)

The Law of Reflection states that light rays split into multiple directions upon hitting a surface

b)

The Law of Reflection states that light rays bend when they hit a surface

c)

The Law of Reflection states that the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of reflection

d)

The Law of Reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection when light rays bounce off a surface.

2.

In which direction does light reflect off a plane mirror?

a)

In the opposite direction of the incident light

b)

In the same direction as it hits the mirror

c)

In a random direction

d)

In a circular path around the mirror

3.

Explain how an image is formed in a plane mirror.

a)

An image is formed in a plane mirror by emitting light rays towards the object

b)

An image is formed in a plane mirror by bending light rays around the mirror

c)

An image is formed in a plane mirror through the reflection of light rays off an object placed in front of the mirror, creating a virtual image that appears behind the mirror at the same distance as the object.

d)

An image is formed in a plane mirror by absorbing light rays from the object

4.

What type of mirror is a concave mirror?

a)

Concave mirror is a flat mirror.

b)

Concave mirror is a converging mirror.

c)

Concave mirror is a magnifying mirror.

d)

Concave mirror is a diverging mirror.

5.

How does light reflect off a concave mirror?

a)

Light reflects off a concave mirror and converges at a focal point in front of the mirror.

b)

Light reflects off a concave mirror and diverges at a focal point in front of the mirror.

c)

Light reflects off a concave mirror and forms a straight line behind the mirror.

d)

Light reflects off a concave mirror and scatters in all directions.

6.

What type of image is formed by a concave mirror?

a)

Transparent image

b)

Inverted image

c)

Distorted image

d)

Real or virtual image

7.

What type of mirror is a convex mirror?

a)

Convex mirror is a diverging mirror.

b)

Convex mirror is a magnifying mirror.

c)

Convex mirror is a plane mirror.

d)

Convex mirror is a concave mirror.

8.

Describe the reflection of light in a convex mirror.

a)

The reflection of light in a convex mirror is virtual, inverted, and enlarged in size.

b)

The reflection of light in a convex mirror is real, inverted, and enlarged in size.

c)

The reflection of light in a convex mirror is real, upright, and enlarged in size.

d)

The reflection of light in a convex mirror is virtual, upright, and diminished in size.

9.

What type of image is formed by a convex mirror?

a)

Virtual and diminished image

b)

Virtual and enlarged image

c)

Inverted and magnified image

d)

Real and enlarged image

10.

State the characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror.

a)

Real, upright, same size, inverted

b)

Virtual, inverted, same size, magnified

c)

Real, inverted, larger, different size

d)

Virtual, upright, laterally inverted, same size

11.

How does the focal point relate to the curvature of a concave mirror?

a)

The focal point moves away from the mirror's surface as the curvature of a concave mirror increases.

b)

The focal point moves closer to the mirror's surface as the curvature of a concave mirror increases.

c)

The focal point remains constant regardless of the curvature of a concave mirror.

d)

The focal point shifts to the center of the mirror as the curvature of a concave mirror increases.

12.

Explain how a virtual image is formed by a concave mirror.

a)

A virtual image is formed by a concave mirror when the object is placed at the focal point.

b)

A virtual image is formed by a concave mirror when the object is placed between the mirror and the focal point.

c)

A virtual image is formed by a concave mirror when the object is placed beyond the focal point.

d)

A virtual image is formed by a concave mirror when the object is placed at the center of curvature.

13.

What is the focal length of a convex mirror?

a)

Positive and equal to half of the radius of curvature

b)

Zero and equal to the radius of curvature

c)

Negative and equal to half of the radius of curvature

d)

14.

How does the image size compare to the object size in a convex mirror?

a)

The image size is smaller than the object size.

b)

The image size is distorted compared to the object size.

c)

The image size is the same as the object size.

d)

The image size is larger than the object size.
