Reflection and Refraction

Question 6 • Crowley Credit Recovery Physics B

Which best describes reflection and refraction?

Answer
A
In both reflection and refraction, rays pass through a boundary.
B
In both reflection and refraction, rays pass through a boundary.
C
In both reflection and refraction, rays bounce off a boundary.
D
In both reflection and refraction, rays bounce off a boundary.
E
In reflection, rays bounce off a boundary, and in refraction, rays pass through a boundary.
F
In reflection, rays bounce off a boundary, and in refraction, rays pass through a boundary.
G
In refraction, rays bounce off a boundary, and in reflection, rays pass through a boundary.
H
In refraction, rays bounce off a boundary, and in reflection, rays pass through a boundary.

Explanation

Reflection occurs when light rays bounce off a boundary. Refraction occurs when light passes through a boundary into a different medium and changes direction. Therefore, the choice stating that reflection is bouncing and refraction is passing through is correct; E and F repeat the same description.
