Questions and Answers

What happens to the beam of light after reflection from a smooth and highly polished surface?

  • The beam of light diverges after reflection
  • The beam of light remains parallel after reflection (correct)
  • The beam of light converges after reflection
  • The beam of light scatters after reflection

    • Why do the angles of reflection remain the same after light reflects from a smooth and highly polished surface?

  • Due to refraction at the surface
  • Because of the change in wavelength after reflection
  • Because the surface absorbs the light energy
  • As they strike the surface at the same angle of incidence (correct)

    • What effect does a rough surface have on the reflection of light?

  • The angles of reflection change randomly (correct)
  • The reflected light remains the same as with a smooth surface
  • The reflected light becomes more parallel
  • The reflection becomes less intense
