Light and optics Flashcards
What are the types of energy
Chemical Radiant(light) Electric Atomic(nuclear) Mechanical
Types of light
Incadescent, luminescent, electric discharge, fluorescent, phosphorescence, chemiluminescence, bioluminescence
Incandescent
emits light at a high temperature (wire filament)
electic charge
light emitted when electricity passes through a gas (neon light, lightning)
fluorescence
light emitted while receiving it from another source
phospherescence
emit light for some time after receiving energy ( glow toys)0
chemiluminescence
chemical energy covered to radiant energy
bioluminescence
light emitted by living organisms
what is always the same for a a convex mirror
smaller, upright, behind mirror & between v+f, virtual
what is the angle of incidence
the angle between the normal and the incident ray
what is the incident ray
the light that enters the mirror
reflected ray
the light that leaves the mirror
angle of reflection
the angle between the normal and the reflected ray
