Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

During a physics practical in Jamaica, students use a ray box to investigate reflection. A ray of light strikes a plane mirror at an angle of incidence of 35°. What is the angle of reflection?

  1. 17.5°
  2. 35°
  3. 55°
  4. 70°
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B35°
Award 1 mark for applying the law of reflection: angle of incidence = angle of reflection. A is incorrect — this is half the angle of incidence. C is incorrect — this results from subtracting from 90°. D is incorrect — this is double the angle of incidence.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

A fisherman in Barbados notices that waves approaching the shore at an angle appear to bend as they enter shallow water near the coral reef. Which property of waves is responsible for this observation?

  1. Reflection
  2. Refraction
  3. Diffraction
  4. Polarization
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BRefraction
Award 1 mark for recognizing that waves bend when entering shallow water due to change in speed. A is incorrect — reflection involves waves bouncing back from a surface. C is incorrect — diffraction is the spreading of waves through gaps or around obstacles. D is incorrect — polarization involves restricting wave vibrations to one plane.

CXC CSEC Physics: Reflection of Waves and Light FAQ

How many CXC CSEC Physics questions on Reflection of Waves and Light are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Reflection of Waves and Light for CXC CSEC Physics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CXC paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Physics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Reflection of Waves and Light practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Reflection of Waves and Light questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Reflection of Waves and Light typically tested on CXC CSEC Physics papers?
Reflection of Waves and Light appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Physics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
