Frederick wants to do an experiment that will teach him more about optics. Which of the following experiments should he perform?

measuring how quickly ice melts when it contacts different hot metals

measuring how well light reflects off of different colored mirrors

seeing how different forces make golf balls travel different speeds

determining if deeper sounds produce stronger vibrations

Frederick should perform the experiment on "measuring how well light reflects off of different colored mirrors." This experiment directly relates to optics, as it involves the behavior of light (reflection) and how it interacts with different surfaces (the colored mirrors). The other experiments focus on different scientific principles, such as thermal conductivity, mechanics, and sound vibrations, rather than optics.
