All 10 Questions
- A team of deep-sea explorers is using a fiber-optic cable to send light to a dark trench. Why does the light stay inside the curvy cable instead of shining out the sides?A) The light turns into electricity inside the wireB) The light bounces off the inside walls repeatedlyC) The cable is painted bright white on the outsideD) Light naturally curves to follow round objects
- A magician places a coin at the bottom of a bowl and fills it with water. Even though the coin hasn't moved, it now looks higher up because light _____ as it exits the water.A) speeds up and bendsB) stops movingC) reflects backwardD) turns into a shadow
- Smooth, shiny surfaces like a polished silver trophy cause light rays to scatter in many different directions.A) TrueB) False
