Question 1

Question
The diagram shows a ray of light in air incident on a glass block. Some of the light is refracted, and some of the light is reflected. Two angles p and q are marked on the diagram. Which choice gives the angle of incidence and shows whether the ray undergoes total internal A reflection?
Answer
  • A angle of incidence = P; total internal reflection = no
  • B angle of incidence = P; total internal reflection = yes
  • C angle of incidence = Q; total internal reflection = no
  • D angle of incidence = Q; total internal reflection = yes

Question 2

Question
The diagram shows an object in front of a plane mirror. At which labelled position is the image of the object formed?
Answer
  • A
  • B
  • C
  • D

Question 3

Question
Which diagram correctly shows a ray of light reflected by a plane mirror?

Question 4

Question
The diagram shows a ray of light incident on the edge of a piece of glass. The angle i is greater than the critical angle. Which arrow shows the direction of the ray after it leaves the edge of the glass?
Answer
  • A
  • B
  • C
  • D

Question 5

Question
Which diagram shows how the light from a candle is reflected by a mirror, and shows the position of the image formed?

Question 6

Question
The diagram shows a ray of light inside a glass rod. The critical angle for the light in the glass is 42°. Which choice shows what happens to the light when it reaches the surface of the glass rod?
Answer
  • A Any light reflected = no; Any light refracted = no
  • B Any light reflected = no; Any light refracted = yes
  • C Any light reflected = yes; Any light refracted = no
  • D Any light reflected = yes; Any light refracted = yes

Question 7

Question
A plane mirror is fitted to a wall. Which statement about the image formed by the mirror is correct?
Answer
  • A The image is real.
  • B The image is left to right (laterally inverted).
  • C The image is smaller than the object.
  • D The image is upside down.

Question 8

Question
A ray of light is reflected by two parallel plane mirrors X and Y. Which statement is correct?
Answer
  • A The angle of incidence at mirror X is 30°.
  • B The angle of incidence at mirror Y is 60°.
  • C The angle of reflection at mirror X is 120°.
  • D The angle of reflection at mirror Y is 0°.

Question 9

Question
Which statement about a converging lens is not correct?
Answer
  • A A ray parallel to the principal axis of the lens is refracted through the principal focus.
  • B All rays of light refracted by the lens pass through the principal focus.
  • C The distance between the centre of the lens and the principal focus is the focal length.
  • D The principal focus of the lens is a point on the principal axis.

Question 10

Question

Answer
  • A a converging lens
  • B a parallel-sided glass block
  • C a plane mirror
  • D a triangular prism

Question 11

Question

Answer
  • A direction
  • B frequency
  • C speed
  • D wavelength

Question 13

Question
Which diagram shows how a ray of light could pass through a glass block in air?

Question 14

Question
The diagram shows a ray of light passing through a semicircular glass block into air. Which choice gives the correct name for angle P and states how angle P compares with the critical angle?
Answer
  • A Name of angle P = angle of incidence; Angle P compared with the critical angle = larger than the critical angle
  • B Name of angle P = angle of incidence; Angle P compared with the critical angle = smaller than the critical angle
  • C Name of angle P = angle of refraction; Angle P compared with the critical angle = larger than the critical angle
  • D Name of angle P = angle of refraction Angle P compared with the critical angle = smaller than the critical angle
