Q

What is virtual image?

A

An image that forms at a location from witch light rays don’t actually come, but they appear to.

16
Q

What is a real image?

A

An image formed by light rays that come together at a specific location.

17
Q

What is diffuse reflection?

A

A reflection of light into random directions.

18
Q

What is geometrical optics?

A

The study of light in cases in which light behaves like a ray.

19
Q

What is the angle of reflection?

A

The angle made by a reflected ray with a perpendicular to the reflecting surface.

20
Q

What is the angle of incidence?

A

The angle that an incident line or ray makes with a perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence.

21
Q

What is the law of reflection?

A

The law of reflection states that the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface of the mirror all lie in the same plane.

22
Q

What is normal?

A

The angle of reflection - In waves, the angle formed by the reflected wave.

23
Q

What is a convex mirror?

A

Where the mirror is bent outward.

24
Q

What is a concave mirror?

A

Where the mirror is bent inward.

25
Q

What is total internal reflection?

A

Whenever full amount of reflection on a object.

26
Q

What is lens?

A

The transparent object that reflects light waves so that they converge diverge to create an image.

27
Q

What is magnification?

A

A change in the size of an image compared to the dice of the object.

28
Q

What is prism?

A

A system that consists of two or more plane surfaces of a transparent solid at an angle with each other.

29
Q

What is dispersion?

A

The separation of visible light into its different colors.

30
Q

What is mirage?

A

An image that is displaced above, below, or to one side of its true position.

31
Q

What is converging lens?

A

A lens that curves both ways outward and inward where light coming out of it meets at the focal point.

32
Q

What is focal point?

A

The point on the axis of a mirror or lens at which all incident parole light rays converge or diverge.
