Term

 

 

LAW OF RELECTION

Definition

THE ANGLE THAT THE REFLECTED RAY MAKES WITH THE PERPENDICULAR LINE.

 

Term

 

 

ANGLE OF INCIDENCE

Definition
THE ANGLE THE INCIDENT RAY MAKE WITH A LINE DRAWN PERPENDICULAR TO THE SURFACE OF THE MIRROR.
Term

 

 

TRUE / FALSE

Definition
THE LAW OF REFLECTION STATES THAT THE ANGLE OF REFLECTION IS EQUAL TO THE ANGLE OF INCIDENCE.
Term

 

 

PLANE MIRROR

Definition

 

 

ALWAYS PRODUCES VIRTUAL IMAGES

Term

 

 

VIRTUAL IMAGE

Definition

 

 

IS A COPY OF AN OBJECT FORMED AT THE LOCATION FROM WHICH THE LIGHT RAYS APPEAR TO COME

 

Term

 

 

CONVEX MIRROR

Definition

 

 

WHEN THE OUTSIDE SURFACE OF A CURVED MIRROR IS THE REFLECTING SURFACE.

 

Term

 

 

CONCAVE MIRROR

Definition

 

 

CAN FORM BOTH VIRTUAL OR REAL IMAGES

Term

 

 

TRUE/FALSE

Definition
CONVEX MIRRORS ALWAYS CAUSE LIGHT RAYS TO SPREAD OUT AND CAN ONLY FORM VIRTUAL IMAGES.
Term

 

 

INDEX OF REFRACTION

Definition

 

 

IS THE RATIO OF THE SPEED OF LIGHT IN A VACUUM TO THE SPEED OF LIGHT IN A MATERIAL

Term

 

 

VIRTUAL IMAGE

Definition

 

 

CAN NOT BE PROJECTED

Term

 

 

CONVEX MIRROR

Definition

 

 

 

CAN ONLY MAKE VIRTUAL IMAGE

Term

 

 

LENSE

Definition
AN OBJECT MADE OF TRANSPARENT MATERIAL THAT HAS ONE OR MORE CURVED SURFACES THAT CAN REFRACT LIGHT
Term

 

 

TRUE/FALSE

Definition

 

 

THE CURVATURE AND THICKNESS OF LENSES AFFECT THE WAY IT REFRACTS

Term

 

 

CONCAVE LENSE

Definition

 

IS CURVED INWARD AT THE CENTER AND ITS THICKEST AT THE OUTSIDE EDGES

Term

 

 

TRUE/FALSE

Definition

 

 

CONCAVE LENSES ALWAYS CAUSE LIGHT RAYS TO SPREAD OUT

Term

 

 

CONVEX LENSE

Definition

 

IS CURVED OUTWARD AT THE CENTER AND IS THINNEST AT THE OUTER EDGES

Term

 

 

TRUE/FALSE

Definition

 

A MATERIAL WITH LOW INDEX OF FRACTION (NEAR 1) CAUSES LIGHT TO SLOW AND REFRACT VERY LITTLE

Term

 

 

TRUE/FALSE

Definition

 

WHEN LIGHT ENTERS A NEW MEDIUM AT AN ANGLE, THE CHANGE IN SPEED CAUSES THE LIGHT TO BEND, OR REFRACT

Term

 

 

FOCAL POINT

Definition
THE POINT AT WHICH LIGHT RAYS PARALLEL TO THE AXIS OF THE MIRROR OR LENS MEET OR APPEAR TO MEET
Term

 

 

OPTICAL AXIS

Definition

 

STRAIGHT LINE GOES THROUGH THE MIRROR

Term

 

 

RAY DIAGRAM

Definition
A DIAGRAM THAT SHOWS HOW LIGHT RAYS CHANGE DIRECTION WHEN THEY STRIKE MIRRORS AND PASS THROUGH LENSES
Term

 

 

TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION

Definition
IS THE COMPLETE REFLECTION OF A LIGHT RAY BACK INTO ITS ORIGINAL MEDIUM
Term

 

 

TELESCOPE

Definition

 

INSTRUMENT THAT USES LENSES OR MIRRORS TO COLLECT AND FOCUS LIGHT FROM DISTANT OBJECTS

Term

USES CONVEX LENSES TO COLLECT AND FOCUS LIGHT

Term

 

 

RELECTING TELESCOPE

Definition

 

USES MIRRORS AND CONVEX LENSES TO COLLECT AND FOCUS LIGHT
