The diagram shows a patient having her eyes tested. A chart with letters on is placed behind her and she sees it reflected in a plane mirror.

How far away from the patient will the chart seem to be? ( A. 7 m ) B. 6m C. 5m D. 4m

2.

A ray of light is incident on a semicircular block of glass at point P, as shown in the diagram below. OP is the radius of the semicircle.

Which of the following ray diagram shows how the ray will pass through the block and into the air again?

An apple fell into a pool of water. An observer looked into the water to look at the apple. How would the apple appear to the observer? A B C D It looked nearer to the observer than what it actually is. It looked further to the observer than what it actually is. It did not look any different. It looked like it is floating in the water.

4.
