Sciecne Light Flashcards
Relative to its object, a real image formed by a mirror is always
inverted
A lens that produces an image on the opposite side of the lens as the object is a
Converging
Light entering a plexiglass triangle at an angle will be
Bent twice in opposite directions (towards the normal, then away), by unequal amounts
You are looking at the bottom of a lake 1.2 m deep from a boat. To you the lake seems to be
less than 1.2 m deep
Relative to its object, a real image formed by a lens is always
inverted
Light entering a plexiglass rectangle at an angle
Bent twice in opposite directions (towards the normal, then away), but by equal amounts
Light entering a plexiglass triangle at an angle will be
Bent twice in the same direction (up and up or down and down),
Light entering a plexiglass rectangle at an angle
Bent twice in opposite directions (up then down or down then up), but by equal amounts
Relative to its object, a virtual image formed by a converging mirror is always
Erect, Smaller
The law of refraction (Snell’s Law, to be exact) holds for all objects, regardless of shape or material (assuming light can pass through it).
True
The image formed by a diverging lens of a real object is always which one or more of the following?
Virtual
A converging lens is
Convex, not flat, or concave
Science prefers
A few powerful, general rules
The fact that flat mirrors reflect parallel rays in parrallel directions and curved mirrors do not requires separate rules.
False
Hypothesis
A statement predicting the outcome of an experiment, based off of other research.
Law
States a relationship between quantities/variables (often as a mathematical equation).
Theory
Explains how or why a phenomenon happens.
A mirror that can produce an image on the opposite side of the mirror as the object is a
Diverging,converging
A converging mirror is
Concave
Light entering a more dense medium (such as Plexiglas from air) at an angle other than 900 will be bent
Toward the normal
Relative to its object, a real image formed by a lens may be
Inverted, larger, smaller
A lens that produces a real upright image is a
not diverging, and converging
