2nd Quarter Science (W5- Mirrors and Lenses) Flashcards
Properties of waves and particles
Light-
Bounced off light to any surface
Reflection-
Smooth surface
Specular-
Rough
Produces distorted
Diffuse-
Transfer of energy carried by the light waves
Absorption-
The reflection of light by articles
Scattering-
Always equal to incidence and reflection
Law Of Reflection
Bounces off the mirror/surface
Reflected Ray
Smooth to produce reflection
Mirrors-
Flat, two dimensional and are inverted
Plane Mirrors-
Curved mirrors that produce images
Spherical Mirrors-
- Inverted, it reflect back
Converging mirrors
Concave Mirror
Example:
Flashlight
Dental Mirror
Concave Mirror
When light strikes the reflected light scatters
Convex Mirror-
Example:
Rear view mirror
Security Mirrors
Magnifying glass
Microscope
Convex Mirror-
Bending of light
Refraction-
Transparent with two non parallel
Lens-
Thicker in the middle
Example:
Camera Lens
Projectors
Convex Lenses-
Thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges
Concave Lenses-
