Light Flashcards
What is the focal length?
Distance from the focus to the middle of the lense
Any incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis of a converging lens will…
refract through the lens and travel through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens.
Any incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis of a converging lens will…
refract through the lens and travel through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens.
Magnification factor =
image height ÷ object height
Magnification factor =
image height ÷ object height
Power of the lens =
1 ÷ focal length
Where does the image form?
where the rays cross
What is the shape of a converging convex?
2 Parallel lines, after middle of lens ‘x’ shape
Diverging concave shape?
Dotted line ‘x’ before middle lens
lines continue going
What does a filter do?
Lets a particular colour through & absorbs all other colours on the wavelength
What does the colour of an object show?
The wavelengths which are reflected into our eyes.
