  1. 1. Reflection means light:
    • (a) passing through
    • (b) bouncing back
    • (c) being absorbed
    • (d) bending
  2. 2. Angles of incidence and reflection are measured from the:
    • (a) surface
    • (b) mirror edge
    • (c) normal
    • (d) reflected ray
  3. 3. In a plane mirror, the image is:
    • (a) virtual and erect
    • (b) real and inverted
    • (c) real and erect
    • (d) virtual and inverted
  4. 4. The left–right swap in a mirror image is called:
    • (a) refraction
    • (b) dispersion
    • (c) lateral inversion
    • (d) diffusion
  5. 5. State the two laws of reflection.
  6. 6. Give one difference between regular and diffuse reflection.
  7. 7. Describe the image formed by a plane mirror and list its characteristics.

  1. 1. (b) bouncing back — Reflection is the bouncing back of light from a surface.
  2. 2. (c) normal — Both angles are measured from the normal.
  3. 3. (a) virtual and erect — A plane mirror gives a virtual, erect, laterally inverted image.
  4. 4. (c) lateral inversion — It is called lateral inversion.
  5. 5. The incident ray, reflected ray and normal lie in one plane; and the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
  6. 6. Regular reflection from a smooth surface gives a clear image; diffuse reflection from a rough surface scatters light and gives none.
  7. 7. A plane mirror forms an image that is virtual (cannot be caught on a screen), erect, and the same size as the object. It is laterally inverted, with left and right interchanged, and is located as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
