    This document appears to be a physics quiz from Kwok Tak Seng Catholic Secondary School for a class of S3 students on the topic of refraction. The quiz contains multiple choice questions, true/false questions, and questions requiring students to label diagrams and explain concepts related to refraction. It tests the students' understanding of key terms like normal, incident ray, angle of incidence, refracted ray, and angle of refraction. The quiz also examines students' ability to apply the principles of refraction to problems involving light rays passing through different media and to predict how changing the refractive index would affect the position of an image.
