A student placed a pencil in a cup of water. The pencil appears broken because light-
always travels in a straight line
bends when it passes through water
makes the water in the glass evaporate
reflects the pencil on the water's surface
Light bends as it passes through a lens. This is called what?
Reflection
Diffraction
Refraction
Dilation
The term for any wave that hits a surface and bounces off
Transparent
Translucent
Refraction
Reflection
The pictures shows what a student observed when he looked through a hand lens at a penny.
What happens to light passing through a hand lens that makes the image of the penny appear larger? The light is-
absorbed
reflected
refracted
stopped
The illustration shows a light ray striking an object.
In the illustration, the light ray striking the object is-
absorbed
stopped
reflected
refracted
Why does the lower part of the child appear so much different in size from the upper part?
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.
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.
Reflections is the bending of light when it moves through one kind of matter to another and refraction is the bouncing of light off an object.

Absorption Reflection Refraction
A) Absorption is the process of light being taken in by a material, while reflection is the bouncing of light off a surface, and refraction is the bending of light as it passes through different media.
B) Absorption is the bending of light as it passes through different media, while reflection is the bouncing of light off a surface, and refraction is the process of light being taken in by a material.
C) Absorption is the bouncing of light off a surface, while reflection is the bending of light as it passes through different media, and refraction is the process of light being taken in by a material.
D) Absorption, reflection, and refraction all refer to the bending of light as it passes through different media.
