answers complete solution 2025/2026
reflectance - correct answer ✔What is defined as the ratio of reflected light to the total light falling on
a surface?
specular - correct answer ✔Which type of reflection produces emages like you would see in a mirror?
false - correct answer ✔T/F The angles of reflection and incidence are measured between the ray and
the reflecting surface.
true - correct answer ✔T/F in geometric optics, light is treated as though it were made up of many
slender rays.
false, this is the second law of reflection - correct answer ✔T/F The first law of reflection states that the
reflected ray, incident ray, and normal all lie in the same plane.
absorbed - correct answer ✔Light that strikes a medium and is transformed into vibrational or heat
energy is ___? ___ by the medium.
transmitted - correct answer ✔If light crosses the boundary between two media and travels through
the new medium, the light is ___?___.
tangent - correct answer ✔To find the angle of reflection of light reflecting off a curved surface, we
draw a normal perpendicular to a ___?___ drawn to the curve at the point where the light is reflected.
diffuse - correct answer ✔The unevenness of a surface is the primary cause of ___?___ reflection.
