- Q2When light travels through air into a prism, it bends and separates into many colors. In which other situation does light bend?When light moves through air into waterWhen light passes through outer spaceWhen light hits a wallWhen light hits a mirror60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q3Scientists use telescopes to make distant objects appear closer. Some parts of a telescope are shown below. Which of the following best describes how the objective lens of this telescope helps a scientist observe the moon?The objective lens blocks lightThe objective lens produces light.The objective lens reflects light.The objective lens refracts light.60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q4The picture below shows a child standing in a swimming pool. Why does the lower part of the child appear so much different in size from the upper part?The light rays that travel through water and then into air are enlarged.The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reflected.The light rays that travel through air and then into water are reduced.The light rays that travel through water and then into air are refracted.60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q5Some students paint the inside of several boxes. They paint each box a different color. They observe that the inside of the box painted white looks brighter than the others. What is the most likely reason this box looks brighter?More light is absorbed by white paint.More light is reflected off white paint.More light is refracted by white paint.More light passes through white paint.60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q6The model shows a special glass fiber that is thinner than some metal wires. When light enters one end of the fiber, it moves through the fiber as shown. After the light leaves the fiber, it travels —back into the fiberin a straight linearound the fiberin a curve60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q7A student looks into a mirror and sees an image of an object. Which diagram shows an X where the object is most likely located?#texas/f3d674ff-a6ac-493a-91b1-6e4ce8b8ca5c/B.png#texas/f3d674ff-a6ac-493a-91b1-6e4ce8b8ca5c/A.png#texas/f3d674ff-a6ac-493a-91b1-6e4ce8b8ca5c/C.png#texas/f3d674ff-a6ac-493a-91b1-6e4ce8b8ca5c/D.png60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q8The diagram below shows a fish being viewed from above the water. The fish appears to be closer to the surface than it really is. What causes this difference?Light is reflected.Light is focused.Light is refracted.Light is blocked.60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q9In 1859, Henry Bursill published a book of hand shadows. The picture below shows one of these hand shadows. Which property of light makes it possible to produce hand shadows?Light can be refracted.Light can be separated into different colors.Light travels in straight lines.Light is a form of energy.60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q10Lasers produce a beam of light that can be focused on a small area. A teacher uses two mirrors to shine a beam of light from a laser onto a box. Which diagram shows how the teacher should position the two mirrors?#texas/664b01aa-8809-4ba7-ad3f-450c270befa9/A.png#texas/664b01aa-8809-4ba7-ad3f-450c270befa9/D.png#texas/664b01aa-8809-4ba7-ad3f-450c270befa9/B.png#texas/664b01aa-8809-4ba7-ad3f-450c270befa9/C.png60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q11A teacher takes the top and a side off a box. She cuts a hole in another side and puts a candle outside the box, as shown below. When the teacher lights the candle in a dark room, some of the candlelight shines through the hole. Which diagram best shows how the light appears on the opposite wall of the box?#texas/7444e8bb-01a8-4e51-bc9e-e6fe7abd8d02/B.png#texas/7444e8bb-01a8-4e51-bc9e-e6fe7abd8d02/A.png#texas/7444e8bb-01a8-4e51-bc9e-e6fe7abd8d02/C.png#texas/7444e8bb-01a8-4e51-bc9e-e6fe7abd8d02/D.png60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy

A teacher asks the other students in the class to look carefully at the girl’s eye and give reasons for its appearance. Which table correctly identifies the reasons for the appearance of the girl’s eye through the lab instrument?#texas/e04e5f84-11b5-4c4b-9d49-0a2b1974fb67/B.png#texas/e04e5f84-11b5-4c4b-9d49-0a2b1974fb67/D.png#texas/e04e5f84-11b5-4c4b-9d49-0a2b1974fb67/A.png#texas/e04e5f84-11b5-4c4b-9d49-0a2b1974fb67/C.png60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy
- Q13The picture shows an area of Yosemite National Park. Which statement about light is supported by this picture?Light can refract in air and in clear water.Light travels in straight lines until it enters a different material like water in a lake.Light is reflected off the smooth surface of the lake.The water in the lake is blue because light forms an image.60s5.6.C: Force, Motion and Energy
