Questions and Answers

What is the principle of reversibility of light?

  • Light changes its speed based on the direction of travel
  • Light bends in the opposite direction of travel
  • Light stops when its direction of travel is reversed
  • Light follows the same path regardless of direction of travel (correct)

What is the critical angle?

  • Angle of incidence equal to 90 degrees (correct)
  • Angle at which light changes color
  • Angle of refraction equal to 90 degrees
  • Angle that changes light's speed

  • A more dense medium to a less dense medium (correct)
  • A less dense medium to a more dense medium
  • Two equally dense mediums
  • A medium with no density
