Q

In a concave mirror, when an object is placed beyond the focal point (F), what image is produced?

A

Real, inverted, and magnified

111
Q

In a concave mirror, when the object is placed at the focal point what happens to the image?

A

No image is formed because the rays are parallel to each other. Thus the image distance will be infinity

Converging mirrors

Diverging mirrors

114

Real

Virtual

116
Q

What is magnification?

Magnification can determine if the image is upright or inverted. If the magnification is negative, the image is ________

If the magnification is positive, the image is ________

A

The ratio of the image distance to the object distance

Inverted

Upright

117
Q

The absolute value of the magnification can determine whether the image is reduced or enlarged. If the absolute value of m is less than 1 then image is _______

If the absolute value of m is greater than 1 then image is _______

If the absolute value of m = 1 then the image is _______

A

reduced

enlarged

the same size as the object

118
Q

The focal length of diverging mirrors will always be ______

A

Positive

Negative

119
Q

Concave mirrors and ______ lenses have similar properties and are both converging

Convex mirrors and ______ lenses are both diverging and therefore have similar properties

A

Convex

Concave

120
Q 
Image types with a single lens or mirror,
assuming o (object is positive): inverted images are always \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

and Upright images are always ___________

A

real

virtual

121
Q

what happens when light enters a medium with a higher index of refraction?

when light enters a medium with a lower index of refraction?

A

bends toward the normal

bends away from the normal

122
Q

how is the power (P) of a lens determined?

A

P=1/f

f is the focal length

123
Q

how do you correct farsightedness (hyperopia)

how do you correct nearsightedness (myopia)?

A

a lens that causes the convergence of light

a lens that causes divergence of light

124
Q

what is dispersion? what are effects of it?

A 
when various wavelengths of light separate from each other
chromatic abberation (results in rainbow effect)
