Sample questions

1. What happens to light when it hits a mirror?

   1. It disappears
   2. It gets absorbed
   3. It reflects
   4. It bends
   Show answer

   Answer: C. It reflects

   When light hits a mirror, it reflects. This is because mirrors are designed to bounce light back.

2. Which of the following materials is best for creating a mirror?

   1. Wood
   2. Glass
   3. Plastic
   4. Cardboard
   Show answer

   Answer: B. Glass

   Glass is commonly used to manufacture mirrors because it can be coated with a reflective substance.

3. How does a concave mirror affect light?

   1. It reflects light outward
   2. It focuses light to a point
   3. It absorbs light
   4. It bends light downward
   Show answer

   Answer: B. It focuses light to a point

   Concave mirrors can focus light to a single point, making them useful in applications like telescopes.

4. A light ray hits a surface at a 55-degree angle. What is the angle of reflection?

   1. 55 degrees
   2. 35 degrees
   3. 45 degrees
   4. 90 degrees
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 55 degrees

   The angle of reflection is always equal to the angle of incidence, which in this case is 55 degrees.

5. What type of image is formed by a concave mirror when the object is placed beyond its focal point?

   1. Real and inverted
   2. Virtual and upright
   3. Real and upright
   4. Virtual and inverted
   Show answer

   Answer: A. Real and inverted

   A concave mirror produces a real and inverted image when the object is situated beyond the focus.
