Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.24 Transmission, Absorption and Refraction (Elementary) skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A student uses a concave lens and notices that objects look smaller but more of the scene is visible.

Which statement best explains this trade-off?

AThe concave lens absorbs light from the edges, so you see more.

BThe concave lens refracts rays outward, spreading them so your eye receives rays from a wider area.

CThe lens transmits only small images.

DThe lens reflects images from behind your head.

Solution & Explanation:Diverging rays means the eye can see rays coming from more directions, widening the field of view, but it also makes the image appear smaller.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A student places a convex lens between a candle and a screen and gets a sharp image. She then moves the candle farther from the lens without moving the screen. "

What should happen to the image on the screen?,A. It will become blurry unless the lens or screen is moved to a new position for focus. | B. It will stay sharp because refraction never changes. | C. It will get brighter because the candle is farther away. | D. It will disappear because transmission stops when distance changes.,A. It will become blurry unless the lens or screen is moved to a new position for focus.,Changing the object distance changes where the refracted rays come together. To keep a sharp image

Solution & Explanation:or refraction diagram based on the row context. Use clear paths or before/after comparisons and keep the visual answer-neutral. Use this question context: Passage: A student places a convex lens between a candle and a screen and gets a sharp image. She then moves the candle farther from the lens without moving the screen. Question: What should happen to the image on the... If helpful

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A student wants to compare which of two clear liquids bends light more. She uses the same laser and the same entry angle.

What measurement would be best to compare their refraction?

AMeasure how far the beam inside each liquid bends away from the original direction (the angle change).

BMeasure the color of the laser spot.

CMeasure how loud the laser is.

DMeasure the temperature of the room only.

Solution & Explanation:To compare refraction, you compare how much the beam’s direction changes at the boundary, which can be seen as an angle or displacement.
