Chapter 5 Flashcards
for reflection
What are the parts of a Light Ray Modal
1)Incident ray
2) Angle of incident
3) Normal
4) Angle of Relfection
5) Relected Ray
What are the Laws of Reflection?
1) Incident ray, reflected ray and normal at the point of incidence, all lie on the same plane (2D surface)
2) Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
for refraction
What are the Parts of a Light Ray Modal?
1)Incident ray
2) Angle of incident
3) Normal
4) Angle of Refraction
5) Refracted Ray
refraction of different optical densities
What are the Characteristics of Refraction?
1) Light bends towards normal when from ** less optically dense** tooptically denser
2) Light bends away from normal from optically denser to optically less dense.
When does refraction occur?
from high to low densiity
i < C
When does Critical Angle occur?
from high to low densiity
i = C
When does Total Internal Reflection occur?
from high to low densiity
i > C
What are the types of plane mirrors?
Concave and convex
What is a concave mirror?
Curved inwards, image is zoomed in
What is a convex mirror?
Curved outwards, image is zoomed out
What is the difference between Concave and Convex mirror?
Concave - zoom in
C <– (drawing)
Convex - zoom out
–> C (drawing)
