1. Which of the following best describes the phenomenon when light bounces off a surface?
Refraction
Reflection
Diffraction
Absorption
2. When light passes from a less dense medium to a more dense medium, it bends:

Towards the normal
Does not bend
Reflects completely
3. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of in reflection.
4. Snell's Law relates the angles of incidence and refraction to the of the two media.
5. Explain the difference between specular and diffuse reflection.
