Refraction of Light Quiz

Reflection of Light Quiz offers an intriguing glimpse into how light bends as it travels through different materials. Did you know that the ancient Greeks once believed light travelled in straight lines only, and refraction was a mystery to them? The way light changes direction when it enters water or glass has fascinated scientists for centuries and is the reason why objects underwater appear closer than they really are. This phenomenon is not just a neat trick of nature; it also plays a crucial role in everyday devices like eyeglasses and cameras. This quiz will give you a chance to explore these concepts in a fun and engaging way while testing your knowledge of refraction.

$Refraction of Light Quiz$

Refraction of Light

When light passes from air into water, it

Speeds up and bends away from the normal

Remains at the same speed and bends away from the normal

Remains at the same speed and bends towards the normal

Slows down and bends towards the normal

Which of the following does not occur due to refraction?

Twinkling of stars

Echo

Mirage formation

Bent appearance of a stick in water

In refraction of light through water, the apparent depth of an object:

Increases

Remains the same

Depends on light intensity

Decreases

Light bends while entering a different medium because

Its speed changes

Its color changes

Its path is blocked

It is absorbed

Refractive index is a measure of

Reflection ability

Absorption capacity

Light bending ability

Transparency

If the angle of incidence is zero, the light ray

Gets reflected

Does not enter the second medium

Passes straight without bending

Stops completely

A ray of light enters a denser medium. What happens to its wavelength?

Decreases

Increases

Remains the same

Becomes infinite

The bending of light due to refraction depends on

Frequency of light

Difference in refractive indices

Mass of photon

Temperature of the medium

Which of the following has the highest refractive index?

Air

Water

Diamond

Glass

Refraction occurs at the

Center of the medium

Source of light

Surface of the lens

Interface between two media
