PHYSICS QUIZ (form 4) CLASS :

FRIDAY / 6 SEPT 2019 SCORE :

TOPIC : LIGHT
Question 1 (STRUCTURE)

Diagram 1.1 and 1.2 show a light ray passing through prism P and prism Q respectively. Prism P
and prism Q are made of glass with different densities.

Diagram 1.1 Diagram 1.2

(a) What is meant by critical angle?

Tick ( √ ) the correct answer in the box provided.
The angle of incidence when the angle of refraction is 90°

The angle of incidence when the incidenct ray is totally reflected.

(1 mark)

(b) Explain why the light ray does not bend when it enters both prism at point A.
