1.

What is light reflection?

a)

Light reflection is the scattering of light in all directions.

b)

Light reflection is the conversion of light into heat energy.

c)

Light reflection is the bouncing of light off a surface.

d)

Light reflection is the absorption of light by a surface.

2.

Name the law that governs reflection of light.

a)

Theory of Dispersion

b)

Principle of Diffraction

c)

Law of Reflection

d)

Law of Refraction

3.

What is the angle of incidence?

a)

The angle of incidence is the angle formed by the surface and the ground.

b)

The angle of incidence is the angle between two incoming rays.

c)

The angle of incidence is the angle between the outgoing ray and the surface.

d)

The angle of incidence is the angle between the incoming ray and the normal to the surface.

4.

What is the angle of reflection?

a)

The angle of reflection is always 90 degrees.

b)

The angle of reflection varies with the surface texture.

c)

The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.

d)

The angle of reflection is half of the angle of incidence.

5.

How does a mirror reflect light?

a)

A mirror refracts light by bending it through its surface.

b)

A mirror reflects light by bouncing it off its smooth surface, following the law of reflection.

c)

A mirror emits light from its surface to create images.

d)

A mirror absorbs light and converts it into heat.

6.

What happens to light when it hits a rough surface?

a)

Light travels in a straight line.

b)

Light is absorbed completely.

c)

Light scatters in many directions.

d)

Light reflects back in a single direction.

7.

Can light reflect off water?

a)

Light only absorbs in water, no reflection occurs.

b)

No, light cannot reflect off water.

c)

Yes, light can reflect off water.

d)

Water does not interact with light at all.

8.

What is a real-life example of light reflection?

a)

Seeing a rainbow in the sky.

b)

Seeing your reflection in a mirror.

c)

Observing a shadow on the ground.

d)

Watching a movie in a theater.

9.

What type of image is formed by a plane mirror?

a)

Inverted and of different size than the object

b)

Virtual but larger than the object

c)

Real and inverted

d)

Virtual, upright, and of the same size as the object.

10.

How does the color of an object affect light reflection?

a)

The color of an object only affects its temperature, not light reflection.

b)

All colors reflect light equally regardless of their wavelengths.

c)

The color of an object affects light reflection by determining which wavelengths of light are reflected and which are absorbed.

d)

The color of an object has no effect on light reflection.
