Reflection and Refraction of Light

Chapter 11 Reflection and refraction of light Date: _______________ Section A: Multiple Choice Questions 1 We know that light travels
in straight lines. However, inside a dark room, a little amount of light can still be seen near a window. This is because A. C. 2 the diffraction of light. B. the diffusion of light. the reflection of light.
the total internal reflection of light. D.
A tin foil is crumpled by a boy. Why the surface of the crumpled foil is not as shiny as before? A. B. C. D. Because light is refracted after striking the surface. Because light is bent after striking the surface. Because light is scattered in different directions after striking the surface. Because light is absorbed by the tin foil.
Total internal reflection occurs in a prism as shown in the figure. Which of the following is the possible range of the refractive index, n, of the prism? A. C.
1 2
< n <1
B. D.
1 2
<n< 2
1< n < 2
2<n
Which of the following is / are luminous object(s)? (1) A. C. A light bulb (1) only (1) and (2) only (2) The moon B. D. (3) (3) only (2) and (3) only The human body
What happen to light rays when they hit an uneven surface from the same direction? A. B. C. D. They are all reflected in the same direction. They are reflected in many directions. They are absorbed by the surface. They all pass through the surface and are diffracted.
When parallel rays of light are incident on an irregular surface as shown in the figure, which phenomenon of light occurs? A. B. C. D. Refraction Diffraction Regular reflection Diffuse reflection
What happens to a light beam when it passes through a translucent material such as waxed paper? A. B. C. D. Most of the light passes through. Light is reflected in its incident path. Most of the light is absorbed and very little is reflected. Light is not allowed to pass through.
