Questions and Answers

What is the primary source of illumination for our eyes?

  • The flash light
  • The plane mirror
  • The sun (correct)
  • The movie screen

What happens when someone walks in front of you while watching a movie?

  • The light is transmitted from the movie screen to your eyes
  • The light is reflected from the movie screen to the person's eyes
  • The light is absorbed by the person walking in front of you
  • The light is diffracted, blocking your vision of the screen (correct)

What is the principle behind the formation of images in a plane mirror?

  • The law of transmission
  • The law of diffusion
  • The law of refraction
  • The law of reflection (correct)
