Question

A light ray (yellow line) hits a mirror (thick horizontal gray line). Which diagram do you believe correctly shows the resulting ray (red line).

A mirror is a polished surface that reflects light. Do you think that a rough (not polished) surface reflects light?

When you hold writing up to a mirror, you see "mirror writing." How would you describe mirror writing?

Red light and blue light have slightly different wavelengths. That means that blue light has a higher energy than red light. Which type of light do you think moves faster?

Two parallel light beams hit a mirror and leave at different angles. What conclusion can you make about the mirror from this information?
