Identification: Identify the word being described by each test item. Write your answers on the
space provided. Choose your answers on the word pool below.

________1. The branch of Physics that describes how light behaves and interacts with matter.
________2. The type of reflection produced by smooth surfaces such as mirrors or calm body of waters.
________3. The ray of light which leaves the mirror and is represented by an arrow pointing away from
the mirror.
________4. Reflection off of rough surfaces such as clothing, paper, and the asphalt roadway.
________5. The phenomenon wherein an objects left side appears as the right side of the image and
the right side appears as the left. This also explains why the word AMBULANCE in an ambulance
car is flipped.
________6. A curved mirror with surfaces curving inwards.
________7. A curved mirror with surfaces that are curving outwards. Commonly seen on convenience
stores and side mirrors.
________8. The center of the curved mirror.
________9. The bending of light waves due to a change in speed as it passes from one medium to
another medium of different density.
________10.
A transparent material made of glass or plastic that refracts light rays and focuses
them at a point.
________11.
A type of lens that is thicker in the center than on the edges. Magnifying glass is an
example of this type of lens.
________12.
An upright image produces ______ type of image.
________13.
An inverted image produces ______ type of image.
________14.
A point in where light rays converge (or appears to) when parallel light rays pass
through a lens. Its distance from the vertex is called the focal length.
________15.
States that the Angle of Incidence and the Angle of Reflection are equal and that the
normal line, the incident ray, and the reflected ray lie on the same plane.
