Light Flashcards
Light is a type of wave called electromagnetic wave.
True
The speed of light in vacuum is greater than the speed of light in matter
True
Sound waves travel in vacuum unlike light waves
False
The electromagnetic spectrum classifies the electromagnetic waves according to their
wavelength
True
The angle between the normal and the incoming light ray is called the angle of reflection
False
A wave that changes direction as it travels from one material into another is reflecting.
False
Transparent
It is the material that allows almost all light to pass through it and form a clear image
Translucent
It is a material that allows most of the light to pass but it forms a blurry image.
Opaque
It is a material that does not allow light to pass through it.
Light ray
A narrow beam of light that travels in a straight line
If a light has an angle of incidence 60◦C, what is its angle of reflection.
The angle of reflection is 60*C
State the law of reflection
The angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection.
