Question 1.
What happens to light when it hits a mirror?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the angles when light hits a surface.
Question 2.
What is the normal line in relation to a reflective surface?
Show hintHide hint
Normal means straight, think of it as standing upright.
3Question 3.
What does the law of reflection state?
- Angle of incidence = Angle of refraction
- Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
- Angle of incidence + Angle of reflection = 90 degrees
Show hintHide hint
Think about how light hits and bounces off surfaces.
4Question 4.
Is it true that all rays and the normal lie on the same plane in reflection?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Visualize the geometry of light rays.
Question 5.
A ray of light strikes a plane mirror at a 45-degree angle. What is the angle of reflection?
Show hintHide hint
Refer back to the laws we discussed regarding angles.
Question 6.
Explain how using a concave mirror is different from using a convex mirror in a vehicle's side view.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the purpose each type of mirror serves and how light behaves.
