choose the correct answer in the parenthesis 1. Light is an electromagnetic radiation that travels in a straight line at a speed of (3.0 x 108 m/sec, 3.0 x 107 m/sec). 2. It is the type of reflection wherein light hits a smooth surface then light is reflected back in a regular pattern. This reflection is called (specular, diffuse) reflection. 3. The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is (greater than, equal to) the angle of reflection. 4. (Reflection, Refraction) is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another of different optical density.

Choose the correct statement regarding light traveling in air and glass mediums. Assume that the angle of incidence is not perpendicular to the surface. Refractive index of air is nair=1.00029; refractive index of glass is nglass=1.517. For light traveling from glass to air, the ray becomes bent toward the normal. For light traveling from air to glass, the ray becomes bent away from the normal. For light traveling from air to glass, the refraction angle is smaller than the incidence angle. For light traveling from air to glass, the refraction angle is larger than the incidence angle. For light traveling from air to glass, the incidence angle is smaller than the refraction angle.
