Light Shadow Reflection Worksheet

This document contains a physics worksheet on light for 6th grade students. It includes fill-in-the-blank questions testing knowledge of key light and optics terms like opaque, transparent, reflection. Multiple choice questions test understanding of how light travels and the formation of shadows, images, and types of light sources. Higher level questions require explaining concepts like types of light beams and the differences between luminous and non-luminous objects. Diagram and visual questions assess visual understanding of light behavior and the working of devices like pinhole cameras.
