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.

Yes, because the color of light is independent of where you are. No, you would see it blue because of scattering of light. It would depend on the time of the day when you look at the sky. You would not because there is no atmosphere on the moon to scatter the light. You would not because the moon absorbs all the colors of light. You would see it black because the moon reflects all the colors. Yes, you would see it red like on the earth because both the moon and the earth are spehrical.arrow_forwardA beam of light (angle θ₀=15°) inside a transparent material (n=2) hits the surface. Notice the change in subscripts of the angles. For example, the refraction angle is θt, for "transmitted", whereas θr is the "reflected" angle. Use the correct quantity, not necessarily the variable name. Calculate the transmitted (refracted) angle. Please see photo for more details.arrow_forward
