Question | Answer |
---|---|
The angle the incidence is located where? | Between the incident ray and the normal |
A line drawn perpendicular to the point where the incident ray strikes the barrier is called a...? | Normal |
The angle formed between the reflected ray and the normal is called...? | The angle of reflection |
The Law of Reflection is...? | The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. |
Images in mirrors that seem to be in or behind the mirror and are also always upright are...? | Virtual images. |
A virtual mirror that curves outward and shows an image smaller and closer than it really is is called...? | A convex mirror. |
A virtual mirror that is curved inward and shows an image larger and closer than it really is is caller...? | A concave mirror. |
Inverted images that are formed by converging light rays and can be displayed on a screen are? | Real images. |
This is the mirror where the objected is the same distance behind the mirror as the front of it and it also only produces virtual images. Its called? | A plane mirror |
In what direction(s) are rays reflected when a candle flame is infornt of a plane (flat) mirror? | In all directions. |
These rays diverge from the tip of the flame, the divergent rays appear to originate from where? | a point located behind the mirror. |
can your eye tell the difference between a real object and its virtual image? | no. |
where does the light enter your eye when a virtual image is being shown? | in the exact same spot as it would if there was an actual object being shown. |
the virtual image and the real object are...? | the same size and is the same distance behind the mirror as is infront of the mirror. |
diffuse reflection is what...? | the reflection of a light from a rough surface. |
