Kayla drew two ray diagrams to compare the behavior of light rays.

Question illustration
A
Diagram X shows reflection, and diagram Y shows refraction from a less dense to a denser medium.
B
Diagram X shows refraction from a less dense to a denser medium, and diagram Y shows reflection.
C
Diagram X shows reflection, and diagram Y shows refraction from a denser to a less dense medium.
D
Diagram X shows refraction from a denser to a less dense medium, and diagram Y shows reflection.

A ray of light strikes a smooth surface and is reflected. The angle of incidence is 35°.

A
Rays will bounce in all directions, so the angle of reflection will be random.
B
Rays will bounce in all directions, so the angle of reflection will be less than 35°.
C
Rays will follow the law of reflection, so the angle of reflection will be 35°.
D
Rays will follow the law of reflection, so the angle of reflection will be random.

Rays of light strike a bumpy road and are reflected.

A
They will not follow the law of reflection.
B
Each will reflect at the exact same angle of reflection.
C
They will all travel in the same direction.
