Question

1. For angles of incidence exceeding the critical angle, light traveling from a denser medium to a less dense medium is

Reflected completely back into the denser medium

Dispersed

Bent at a sharp angle

Completely absorbed

2. Blue light bends more than red light when entering glass from air because

A. red light travels faster than blue light in glass

B. blue light travels faster than red light in glass

C. red light travels faster than blue light in the air

D. blue light travels faster than red light in air

3. Why can't you see an image of an object if it is diffusely reflectd instead of specularly reflected?

A. The light rays are reflected in random directions, so rays don’t come together to form an image

B. The light rays are absorbed by the material and none reach our eyes

C. The frequency of the light rays changes upon reflection, making them invisible to us

D. Both A) and C)

A.

Reflected completely back into the denser medium
