Reflection of Light

Physics ⇒ Light and Optics

Reflection of Light starts at 7 and continues till grade 12. QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Reflection of Light. How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take. When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 8
A person moves 1 meter closer to a plane mirror. By how much does the distance between the person and their image decrease?
A ray of light hits a plane mirror at an angle of 45° to the normal. What is the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray?
A ray of light strikes a mirror at an angle of 60° to the mirror surface. What is the angle of incidence?
A ray of light strikes a plane mirror at an angle of 15° to the normal. What is the angle between the incident and reflected rays?
A student shines a torch at a mirror and observes the reflected ray. If the incident ray makes an angle of 25° with the normal, what is the angle of reflection?
Describe the path of a light ray that strikes a plane mirror at an angle of 0° to the normal.
Describe what happens to the direction of light when it reflects off a smooth surface.
Explain why a mirror image appears to swap left and right but not top and bottom.
Explain why the image in a plane mirror cannot be captured on a screen.
Explain why you cannot see your reflection in a piece of paper.
If a person stands 2 meters in front of a plane mirror, how far is the image from the person?
If a ray of light is incident at 70° to the surface of a plane mirror, what is the angle of reflection?
If the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray is 80°, what is the angle of incidence?
If the angle of incidence is 35°, what is the angle of reflection?
What is lateral inversion?
What is the difference between regular and diffuse reflection?
What is the law of reflection?
