1The diagram shows a ray of light in air incident on a glass block.
Some of the light is refracted, and some of the light is reflected. Two angles p and q are marked on the diagram.
Which choice gives the angle of incidence and shows whether the ray undergoes total internal A reflection?
- AA angle of incidence = P; total internal reflection = no
- BB angle of incidence = P; total internal reflection = yes
- CC angle of incidence = Q; total internal reflection = no
- DD angle of incidence = Q; total internal reflection = yes

- DD The angle of reflection at mirror Y is 0°.
9 Which statement about a converging lens is not correct?
- AA A ray parallel to the principal axis of the lens is refracted through the principal focus.
- BB All rays of light refracted by the lens pass through the principal focus.
- CC The distance between the centre of the lens and the principal focus is the focal length.
- DD The principal focus of the lens is a point on the principal axis.
