Term
Reflective index of refraction
Definition

N¹ sin(θ¹) = N² sin(θ²)

 

N = index of refraction

θ = angle between ray and normal

Term
N = ____?
Definition

N= C / V

 

N = index of refraction

C = speed of light

V = speed of stuff thru material

 

*The higher the speed the lower the index of refraction*

Term
Lens Equation
Definition

1/dº + 1/d¹ = 1/f

 

d° = object distance

d¹ = image distance

f = focal length

Term
Magnification
Definition

m = (-d¹ / d°) = (h¹ / h°)

 

m = magnification

d/h ¹ = image distance/ height

d/h ° = object distance/height

 

Term
finding the focus of a mirror
Definition

f = R / 2

 

f = focus 

r= center of curvature 

Term
real images have ___
Definition

a positive image distance

a negative image height

 

a positive object distance

a positive object height

 

a negative magnification

 

Term
virtual images have ___
Definition

a positive magnification

 

a negative image distance

a positive image height

 

a positive object distance and height
