Answer:
When a ray of light hits a boundary and reflects (as opposed to refracts), the following characteristics apply:
A. changes direction
C. does not change direction
E. bounces off the boundary
So, the correct characteristics for reflection are A, C
Explanation:
Answer:
When a ray hits a boundary and reflects (i.e., undergoes reflection), but not when it refracts (i.e., undergoes refraction), the following characteristics apply:
A. changes direction
C. does not change direction
E. bounces off the boundary
In reflection, the direction of the ray changes as it bounces off the boundary, but the speed remains the same. In refraction, the ray changes both direction and speed as it passes through the boundary between two different mediums.
