    SECTION A (LIGHT)

    1(a) (i) State the laws of reflection of light.


    (ii) Explain, with the aid of a ray diagram, the meaning of diffuse reflection.
    (b) (i) A ray of light is incident on a plane mirror. Show that when the incident ray is
    left fixed but the mirror rotated through an angle, θ, the reflected ray rotates through
    twice the angle of rotation of the mirror.
    (ii) With the aid of a diagram, describe one application of the principle in b (i)
    above.
    c) With the aid of a ray diagram, describe an experiment to show that light travels in
    a straight line
    ii) A man of height 10cm is at a distance of 60cm from a concave mirror of focal
    length 20cm. Using a ray diagram, show the position of the image and hence find
    the image height and image distance from the pole of the mirror.
    (iii) With the aid of a ray diagram show that the image formed by a plane mirror is the same
    distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the same mirror

    2(a) What is meant by:


    i) Principle focus
    ii) Pole of the mirror
    iii) Radius of curvature
    iv) Center of curvature
    v) Focal length
    (b) Describe an experiment to determine the focal length of a concave mirror
    (c) (i) State the sneel’s law
    (ii) Explain 3 applications of total internal reflection
    (d) state the laws of Refraction of light
    (ii) ) A ray of light travels from air into water at angle of incidence of 60o. Calculate the angle of
    refraction given that the refractive of water is 1.33.
