Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.23 Light and Seeing by Reflection skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Four objects are placed the same distance from a car headlight: (1) matte black paper, (2) white paper, (3) a flat mirror, (4) a crumpled foil ball.

If you stand to the side (not directly in front of the light), which object is most likely to look brightest to you, and why? Use the light-path evidence to choose the best answer. Choose the answer that best matches the diagram and data.

AWhite paper, because it scatters reflected light in many directions so some reaches you from the side.

BFlat mirror, because it always reflects light equally in all directions.

CMatte black paper, because it reflects the most light.

DCrumpled foil, because it lets light pass through like a window.

Solution & Explanation:Diffuse reflectors like white paper scatter light, so you can see them from many angles. A flat mirror reflects in a specific direction; from the side you may not receive much reflected light.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A diagram compares an eye and a camera. Both need light entering an opening (pupil or lens opening) to form an image.

Which statement correctly connects the comparison to reflection?,,Science "Use the light-path evidence to choose the best answer. Choose the answer that best matches the diagram and data.,A. Both see because objects do not reflect light at all. | B. Both work best when objects are in complete darkness. | C. Both receive reflected light from objects; without reflected light entering

Aneither can form a clear image.

BBoth send out light beams that bounce off objects to make images.,C. Both receive reflected light from objects; without reflected light entering

Solution & Explanation:simple

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Four objects are placed the same distance from a flashlight: (1) matte black paper, (2) white paper, (3) a flat mirror, (4) a crumpled foil ball.

If you stand to the side (not directly in front of the light), which object is most likely to look brightest to you, and why? Use the light-path evidence to choose the best answer. Use the setup evidence to support your answer.

AMatte black paper, because it reflects the most light.

BFlat mirror, because it always reflects light equally in all directions.

CWhite paper, because it scatters reflected light in many directions so some reaches you from the side.

DCrumpled foil, because it lets light pass through like a window.
