Question | Answer |
---|---|
Concave Mirror | curves inward like inside a bowl and rays converge (come together)as they bounce back. |
convex mirror | curves outward and light rays spread out as they bounce back. |
Transparent | materials that transmit all light. Light goes through them |
Translucent | materials that scatter the light as it passes through them |
Plane Mirror | a mirror that is flat |
Refraction | Light moving from one transparent material to another undergoes a change in direction |
Refelction | The law of reflection states that the angle of an incoming ray of light and the angle of the reflected light are always equal. |
Evidence of waves | Interference and polorization provide evidence that light is a wave. |
Luminous | Something that produces light. |
Opaque | material reflects or absorbs all light |
transmitted | When light passes right through an object |
reflected | When light bounces off an object |
absorbed | When light is taken in or trapped by an object |
refracted | When light rays enter a new medium at an angle, the change in speed causes them to bend |
Incandescent | When visible light is given off at high tempatures |
electromagnetic wave | Electromagnetic waves are formed when an electric field couples with a magnetic field |
Black body radiation | idealized material that perfectly absorbs and perfectly emits electromagnetic radiation. |
Consistent law principle | The laws of physics are the same in all referance frames that are moving at a constant velocity with respect to one another. |
Consistancy of speed principle | The speed of light in empty space has the same valur for all obnservers regardless of their velocity |
index of refraction | The ratio of c to the speed of light in some transparent material v |
interference of light | |
virtual image | |
Angle of incidents | Equals angle of reflection 0i=0r |
index of refraction | speed of light in vacumm/speed of light in material n=c/v |
speed of light in a vacuum | (wavelength)(frequency) c=kf |
Energy of photon | (Planks constant)(Frequency) E=hf |
photoelectric effect | |
