light is reflected
light is absorbed
light is turned
light is refracted

air
water
medium
pathway
Elijah is playing with a mirror and a flashlight.
In the illustration, the light ray striking the mirror is-
absorbed
stopped
reflected
refracted
Aiden is standing in a swimming pool, and the lower part of his body appears much different in size from the upper part. Why does this happen?
The light rays that travel through water and then into air are refracted.
The light rays that travel through water and then into air are enlarged.
The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reflected.
The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reduced.
Aria and Michael are observing a laser beam in a dark room. What might explain why the laser light travels in a straight line?
If there is nothing to interfere with light waves, they should travel in a straight line.
Light waves will always travel in a straight line, even if they come into contact with another object.
Light waves don't travel in a straight line.
Light waves travel in a straight line because sound waves travel in a straight line.

Kai often uses a hand lens to make small insects appear larger. A hand lens makes objects appear larger because the lens-
increases the light’s strength
changes the color of the light
bends light passing through it
converts light energy to heat

reflection
refraction
absorption
Abigail was examining a penny through a hand lens and noticed the image appeared larger.

absorbed
reflected
refracted
stopped
Anika and Avery are observing a pond. How is refraction different from reflection?
Reflection is the bouncing of light off an object and refraction is the bending of light when it moves through one kind of matter to another.
