The diagram shows the ways light travels or behaves when shone into water. 

Which beam of light is the result of refraction? 

C

100

Light travels in this direction.

What is in a straight line?

200

The light bounces off the mirror because of this.

What is reflection?

This fishbowl is an example.

A student in the cafeteria brings a large clear plastic cup filled with water. The student places a bright pink straw in the water. What observations can the students at the table make about the straw once it touches the water?


The straw will appear broken because light travels through water differently than air.

White light is a combination of all these colors.

What is ROYGBIV?

Based off this chart Cardboard and Wood are considered this..


What are opaque objects?

A card with writing on it is viewed through a jar with water in it. Part of the writing on the card appears to be changed. 

What caused the change in the appearance of the writing?  

Light rays passing through the water are bent.

Light that hits a surface at an angle will bounce off at this.

What is at the same angle?

A student is planning an investigation to answer the following question: How can I use two mirrors to make a beam of light hit a certain target?  Here is his plan for the investigation:

  • Step 1 - Place a target on the wall across from me:

         

  • Step 2 - Place two mirrors around the targets like this:

Step 3 - Shine a laser pointer at mirror #1.  The light will reflect to mirror #2, and then to the target.

How would you help this student refine/improve his investigation to hit the target?

He should change the position of the mirrors.

The sun, flashlights, fire, and laser are all considered this. 

What are sources of light?

Jonathan wants to build a doghouse for his new puppy. His puppy will be living in the backyard. He uses a flashlight to test the following materials: frosted plastic, wood, and glass. He wants to make sure the material he uses will keep his puppy shaded and cool during the day. Below are his observations from his flashlight test.

Which of the following materials should be used to keep his puppy as cool as possible during the day?

He should use wood to keep the puppy cool during the day.
