Answers to learners’ book for topic 6.1 and 6.

2
Unit 6 - LIGHT

Topic 6.1 Reflection

1. C
2. Ray diagram completed correctly; the normal should be marked; the angle of incidence should
be measured and recorded; the angle of reflection should be equal to the angle of incidence (as
judged by eye); the reflected ray should have an arrowhead; the rays should meet each other
and the normal at the surface but should not cross the surface (the tolerance for these is the
thickness of the pencil line)
3. Diagram copied with light ray coming from the candle to the mirror; normal drawn; reflected ray
going toward the eye; arrowheads on light rays should be in the correct direction (from candle to
mirror and from mirror to eye); labels should be added for: the incident ray, the normal, the
reflected ray, the angle of incidence, the angle of reflection. (Note – the question asks only about
the reflection of light, so an image construction is not required).
4. Mirror drawn at the end of the incident ray that is provided; reflected ray drawn to eye with an
arrowhead pointing away from the mirror; mirror at such an angle that angles of incidence and
reflection are approximately correct (normal need not be included)

Topic 6.2 Refraction

1. a. Light travels slower in water than it does in air.


b. Light travels faster in air than it does in glass.

2. Refraction of light is when light changes direction because of a change in speed (accept
medium).

6.1 flat

6.2 The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence

6.3 Ray diagram with:

• reflected ray at approximately the correct angle and labelled as reflected ray

• arrowhead on the reflected ray pointing away from the mirror

• angle of incidence and angle of reflection marked and labelled between the rays and the normal.

6.4 Diagram showing:

• mirror labelled

• rider/eye

• in incident ray with an arrow pointing toward to mirror

• a reflected ray at approximately the correct angle going to the rider/eye with an arrow pointing away
from the mirror.

6.5 refraction

6.6 When light passes from air into glass, the light slows down.

• When light passes from air into water, the light slows down.
• When light passes from glass into air, the light speeds up.

6.7 F

6.8 a Normal drawn and labelled. Refracted ray bent toward the normal and labelled. Arrow head on
refracted ray pointing away from the surface. Angle of incidence and angle of refraction marked between
the rays and the normal.

b. Normal drawn and labelled. Refracted ray bent away from the normal and labelled. Arrow head on
refracted ray pointing away from the surface. Angle of incidence and angle of refraction marked between
the rays and the normal.
Answers to workbook for topic 6.1 and 6.2
Topic 6.1 Reflection

Exercise 6.1A Making reflections

1. Flat mirror
2. Bouncing
3. A. incident ray
B. Reflected Ray
C. Normal
Exercise 6.1B Ray diagram
Exercise 6.1C Accurate ray diagram
Exercise 6.2B Predicting refraction
1. When light changes speed (caused by) passing from one transparent substance/medium
to another.
2. A. Diamond
b. air and diamond
c. corn oil and glycerol

3. When light passes into a medium where it slows down, the light bends towards the
normal. When light passes into a medium where it speeds up, the light bends away from the normal.

4. Raindrops refract light; raindrops are curved; raindrops refract light in different directions.
