Question

Once the laws of reflection and refraction are known, the behaviour of which objects can be understood?

Options

• Atoms, oscillators, and photons

• Prisms, lenses, and mirrors

• The object point and the image point

• The incident frequency and the scattered light

Answer 1

The laws of reflection and refraction explain how wavefronts behave at optical surfaces. They provide a basis for understanding prisms, lenses, and mirrors.
