science Flashcards
How does light interact with different objects? Provide examples from daily life that show this interaction (KBAT)
plane mirror?
a flat mirror that reflects light to form a virtual image, which cannot be projected onto a screen.
How does light behave when it hits an opaque object?
Light cannot pass through opaque objects, which results in a shadow
What is the purpose of a periscope?
See above surface of water
Is a magnifying class convex or concave?
Convex
what happens to light when passing through convex lens
A convex lens converges light rays, making objects appear larger and closer than they are
why do concave lenses make objects appear smaller
Concave lenses diverge light rays, which creates a diminished image of the object
