Science Flashcards
Optical device used for recording images.
camera
It is the point that halfway between the center of curvature and vertex
Focal point
Similar to eyelid of the human eye
Shutter
Refers to a point in the center of the sphere which mirror sliced
Center of curvature
Hole behind the camera
Aperture
Also known as diverging mirror
Convex mirror
Similar to Iris
Diahpraghm
Imaginary line passing through the center of the sphere at the exact center of the mirror
Principal axis
Focus light to produce bright and clear images
Converging lense
It is a point on the mirrors surface where the principal axis meets the mirror
Vertex
Forms an image with object at one distance in focus
Low F number
The image produced is dependent on the positioning of the object being viewed in the mirror
Concave mirror
Form a sharp image of an object
High F number
Technique that uses three reference rays in order to locate the image
Ray diagramming
Transparent optical devices bounded by a spherical surface
Lense
