Feedback: When light moves from one medium to the next, the speed of light can change and cause
refraction.
2 INCORRECT
Feedback: Yellow, magenta, and cyan are three colors that can be mixed to absorb different colors.
3 INCORRECT
Feedback: Zoom lenses have moveable parts that allow the focal length to be adjusted.
4 INCORRECT
A) in a circle
B) in all directions
C) in a straight line
D) only at right angles
5 INCORRECT
Feedback: Any item appears a certain color because that color is reflected from ambient light.
6 INCORRECT
B) the difference between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection
C) the distance from the center of the mirror to the focal point
Feedback: The focal length measures the distance from the mirror to the focal point in space.
7 INCORRECT
A) concave
B) convex
C) reflecting
D) plane
Feedback: Concave lenses are used for nearsightedness; convex lenses are used for farsightedness.
8 INCORRECT
B) energy
C) matter
D) liquid
9 INCORRECT
A) the retina
C) the cornea
D) the lens
Feedback: Your lens projects an image on your retina, which is then interpreted by your brain.
10 INCORRECT
A) convex
B) plane
C) reflecting
D) concave
Feedback: Convex lenses cause light rays to converge, thus making them useful to magnify things.
11 INCORRECT
A) to magnify an image
12 INCORRECT
A) They converge.
B) They diverge.
Feedback: Light rays diverge, or spread out, from the focal point, in a convex mirror.
13 INCORRECT
B) fastest in water
Feedback: The speed of light changes, depending on its medium. In water, it is slower than it is in air,
and this is what causes refraction.
14 INCORRECT
A) no curves at all
Feedback: Lenses have at least one curved side, whether they are convex or concave.
15 INCORRECT
C) just as smooth as
D) rougher than
Feedback: Object A, which reflects more than object B, does so because it is smoother.
16 INCORRECT
A) red
B) yellow
C) blue
D) green
Feedback: Green is not a primary color because it is a mixture of blue and yellow.
17 INCORRECT
A) the line perpendicular to where the light ray strikes the surface
Feedback: The normal is a line that comes out of a reflecting surface at a right angle.
18 INCORRECT
Feedback: Light reflects off matter, which allows us to see different things.
19 INCORRECT
A) convex mirror
B) plane mirror
C) convex lens
D) concave mirror
Feedback: Concave lenses give images similar to convex mirrors. Convex lenses give images similar to
concave mirrors.
20 INCORRECT
Objects that allow only some light to pass through them are considered __________.
A) opaque
B) solid
C) transparent
D) translucent
Feedback: Translucent materials allow some light to pass through, but are not completely transparent.
