Reflection Flashcards
Reflection
The bouncing of waves off an obstacle in there path
Laws of reflection
The angle i is equal to angle of r
The incedent wave the reflective wave and the normal at the point of incedence all lie on the same plane
Light
A form of energy which travels in a straight line called rays
Reflected
Transmitted
Absorbed
Virtual image
An image which the rays of light only appear to meet . It cannot be produced on a screen
Real image
An image where the rays of light do actually meet and can be produced on screen
Nature of a plane mirror image
Image is virtual
ON=NI
Lateral inversion
Demonstration of reflection
Apparatus : laser , mirror
Method : point at mirror
Observation : the reflected ray bounced back at the same angle to the normal as the incident ray
Concave mirrors ( application )
Car mirrors
Flood lights
Convex mirror (application)
Mirrors make up mirror
Convex mirror (properties)
Virtual ,diminished ,upright
