Properties of Light

100

This is the speed of light is a vacuum.

What is 3x10⁸ m/s?

200

This is the definition of opaque (in terms of reflection, transmission and absorption)

What is a substance which always reflects or absorbs light, but never transmits it?

300

When light is shone through a prism, this light color is refracted the LEAST.

What is red light?

400

This is the color AND EXPLANATION for looking at a red apple through a blue filter.

Reflection and Refraction

100

This is the law of reflection.

What is 'the angle of incidence = the angle of reflection"?

200

The answer to the question 'TRUE or FALSE: The refractive index of a material can be less than 1"

What is false!

300

This is the case where refracting light bends towards the normal.

What is the medium the light is in is less dense than the medium it is travelling into

400

If light travels at 1.34 x 10⁷ m/s in a substance, this is the refractive index of the substance.

What is 22.4?

100

This is when light will totally internally reflect inside a medium

What is 'angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle'?

200

Consider the following ray of light, calculate the refractive index:

     \ 25^o l                                                      
       \     l                                                      
         \   l    n=1.6                                          
______\____________                                  
             l \    n = ??                                       
             l      \                                               
             l   40^o   \                                           

What is n=1.05?

300

This is the refractive index of a substance which has a critical angle of 37⁰.

What is 1.66?

400

This is the angle of refraction when a light ray is at the critical angle.

What is 90⁰?
