Question

a light bounces off the surface of a metal cup and shines in harold’s eyes. which best describes what is happening to the light waves in this scenario?
○ absorption
○ interference
○ refraction
○ reflection

Explanation:

• Absorption means light is taken in, not bounced off.
• Interference involves interaction of light waves (not bouncing).
• Refraction is bending of light when passing through mediums.
• Reflection is when light bounces off a surface, which matches the light bouncing off the metal cup.

Answer:

D. reflection (assuming the options are labeled A - D with D as reflection; if original labels differ, adjust to the option with "reflection")
