Questions and Answers

What happens to light when it passes from one medium to another with a different density?

  • It always reflects back
  • It gets absorbed by the medium
  • It bends and changes its speed (correct)
  • It always stays in its original form
  • What is true about the angle of incidence and reflection when light hits a mirror?

  • The angle of incidence is never related to the angle of reflection
  • The angle of incidence is always less than the angle of reflection
  • The angle of incidence is always greater than the angle of reflection
  • The angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection (correct)
  • What is the primary factor that determines how much light bends when it passes from one medium to another?

  • The color of the light
  • The density of the medium (correct)
  • The wavelength of the light
  • The speed of the light

    Study Notes

    Light and Reflection

    • The angle of incidence from light hitting a mirror is equal to the angle of reflection.

    Lenses

    • No specific information provided about types of lenses.

    Refraction

    • Light bends when passing from one medium to another with a different density.
    • The speed of light changes when passing from one medium to another, causing the light ray to bend.
    • The bending of light occurs because of the change in speed, causing a change in the normal, straight path of the light ray.

    Electromagnetic Spectrum

    • No specific information provided about the electromagnetic spectrum.

    Visible Spectrum of Light

    • No specific information provided about the visible spectrum of light.
