Question

Q7 Explain how light can be reflected at lots of different angles from a rough surface and still obey the law of reflection. Use a diagram in your answer.


Q8 Read the following statements.
A: You can have refraction without dispersion
B: You cannot have dispersion without refraction

a Discuss a situation where statement A is true.

b Discuss a situation where statement B is true.

Q9 A light year is the distance that light travels in a year. It takes light about 8.3 minutes (or 500 seconds) to travel the 150 million km from the Sun. a Calculate how far light travels in 1 second.

b The Moon is 1.3 light seconds from Earth. Calculate how far away it is in km. ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Q7Answer=If light meets a rough surface, each ray obeys the law of reflection. However, the different parts of the rough surface point in different directions, so the light is not all reflected in one direction. Instead, the light is reflected in all directions. This is called diffuse scattering .
