The picture shows how a light ray behaves with two different types of materials.
Which table best describes the behavior of the light ray as it encounters the materials?
Students are investigating how light interacts with different objects.
What can students expect to observe when light strikes a prism?
The light will be magnified, causing the light to bounce in a different direction.
The light will be refracted, causing the light ray to separate into colors.

The light will be reflected, causing the light ray to separate into colors.
A diagram of a periscope is shown below.
Which properties of light are demonstrated in the diagram?
Select TWO correct answers.
Light travels in a straight line.
Light is refracted off of mirrors.
Light travels in a zigzag line.
Light travels through mirrors.
Light is reflected off of mirrors.
For a class demonstration a student turned off the lights in the classroom. The student then shined light from a flashlight through a hole in a piece of cardboard. The class saw the narrow beam of light continue until another student placed a mirror in the light’s path.
The light did not continue past the mirror because -
light cannot travel very far
the mirror absorbed all the light
the light was refracted back to the light source
light travels in a straight line and cannot go around objects
