5. Ann shines a ray of white light at a glass prism.
(a) Tick one box in each row to show if each sentence is true or false. (1A)
i) The light refracts as it enters the prism.
ii) The light refracts as it travels through the prism.
iii) The light disperses as it leaves the prism.
iv) The light forms a spectrum of colours on the screen
(b) Ann places two mirrors at 90° and shines a ray of light at mirror 1.
Marked Assignment 2022-23
(i) On the diagram above continue the ray of light to show how it is reflected by both mirrors. Use a
ruler. (1A)
(ii) On the diagram above label the incident ray (i) and the reflected ray (r) for the light striking
mirror (1A)
(c) Ann shines the torch at a red book.
Explain why the object looks red in white light. (1U)

d) In a dark room, Ann puts different coloured filters in front of the torch. She records the colour the
book appears.
Complete the table below to show the colour that the book would appear. Tick one box in each row.
The first one has been done for you. (1An)

6. The diagram below shows George using his laptop. Light from the lamp is reflected by the laptop
screen.
(i) On the diagram above draw a ray of light to show how George sees the light from the lamp
reflected by the laptop screen. Use a ruler. Draw arrows to show the direction of light. (1A)
(ii) With the laptop screen in the position shown in part a(i), George sees an image of the lamp on
the screen. George tilts the screen forwards as shown below.
Marked Assignment 2022-23
When the screen is tilted forwards it is easier for George to see the words on the screen. What
happens to the reflected ray of light when the screen is tilted? (1Sy)

7. The table below shows information about four planets
7. The diagram below shows the orbits of the Earth, Mercury, Venus and Mars, and their position at
one particular time. The arrows show the direction in which the planets move.
Marked Assignment 2022-23
(a) The speed of light is 300 000 km/second. Calculate how long light takes to reach the Earth from
the Sun. (1A)
(b) The diagram below shows the path of an asteroid around the Sun.
(i) On the path of the asteroid, draw a letter S to show the position where the asteroid is traveling
the slowest. On the path of the asteroid, draw a letter F to show the position where the asteroid is
traveling the fastest. (1Cr)
Marked Assignment 2022-23
(ii) Explain why the speed of the asteroid changes. (1U)

I understand this I understand this I'm almost there. I I'm yet to
so well that I can and can do this by just need more understand this. I
explain it to others. myself. practice. need help.
