Properties of Light

Question 2 • FL-2003310-Physical Science - Teacher Directed Resource

Which example best illustrates that light behaves like particles?

Answer
A
Light bends as it strikes a window.
B
Light bounces off a white cement sidewalk.
C
Light travels in space at a speed of about 3.0 x 108 m/s.
D
Light increases in speed as it moves through matter.

Explanation

Light reflecting from a surface can be understood as photons (particles of light) interacting with the material and bouncing back. This makes B, light bouncing off a white cement sidewalk, the best example. Traveling at a particular speed is a wave-like property, and light generally slows down—not speeds up—as it moves through matter.
