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
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.
What is lateral inversion?
What is the difference between regular and diffuse reflection?
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?

True or False: Diffuse reflection occurs on smooth surfaces.
True or False: The angle of incidence is always measured from the surface of the mirror.
True or False: The image formed by a plane mirror can be projected onto a screen.
True or False: The image formed by a plane mirror is always laterally inverted.
