Reflection and Refraction
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Light that doesn't travel through a mirror, but is returned by the mirrors surface | These waves are reflected |
What produces only virtual images? | Plane mirrors |
What image appears to be in a location where light does not really reach? | A virtual image |
What images are formed by converging light rays and can be displayed on a screen? | Real images |
What type of mirrors are flat? | Plane mirrors |
What type of mirror curves outward and has a virtual image? | Convex mirror |
What are some details of a concave mirrow? | It curves inward, and its a real image. |
More sound energy is reflected from what type of surface? | Rigid and Smooth surface |
When waves strike the surface of a transparent medium, like water, at an angle, their direction changes, what happens to the waves? | The waves are refracted |
What happens to waves when they fall on a transparent medium? | The waves are partly reflected and partly refracted |
What happens when a wave reaches a boundary between two media? | Some or all of the wave bounces back into the first medium |
The law of reflection states what? | That the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are equal to each other |
A light wave that bounces off a boudary is a reflected wave, and is drawn to what? | A reflected ray |
When waves interact with matter, what can happen? | They can be reflected, transmitted, or a combination of both |
Waves that are transmitted can be what? | Refracted |
