G10 Physics Q's

Review of concepts/questions for the Grade 10 (SNC2D) Optics unit

QuestionAnswer
Higher frequency (f) means Higher Energy (E), lower Wavelength (λ)
Lower frequency (f) Lower Energy(E), Higher Wavelength(λ)
What is the range of the Electromagnetic spectrum? 700nm (Red) to 400nm (Violet)
How many colours are in Visible Light? 6 Colours
What is the wavelength of Red light? 700nm
What is the wavelength of Green light? 500nm
What is the wavelength of Purple light? 400nm
What is the wavelength of Orange light? 600nm
List the Electromagnetic spectrum in order of lowest to highest Energy (E) Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible, Ultra-violet, X-Ray, Gamma rays
Red + Green = Yellow light
Blue + Red = Magenta light
Green + Blue = Cyan light
Black is complementary to White light
White light is complementary to Black light
Magenta light is complementary to Green light
Yellow light is complementary to Blue light
Cyan light is complementary to Red light
If the Angle of incidence is 20°, what is the angle of reflection? 20°
If the Critical angle is 45°, what is the angle of refraction? 90°
If an object is placed before the Center of curvature of a Concave mirror, the image is Between C and F, Inverted, Reduced, Real
If an object is placed at the Center of curvature of a Concave mirror, the image is At C, Inverted, Same size, Real
If an object is placed at the Focal point of a Concave mirror, the image is Does not exist
If an object is placed after the Focal point of a Concave mirror, the image is Behind the mirror, Upright, Magnified, VIrtual
When virtual lines are drawn behind the mirror, we draw them dotted
When real lines are drawn in front of the mirror, we draw them solid
Where lines intersect (cross each other), other than at the Focal point, it is The tip of the image
If an object is placed after the Focal point of a Concave mirror, instead of through the Focal point (F), one line goes through The Vertex (V) and bounces off at the same angle it came.
Wherever the object is with a Convex mirror the image is Behind the mirror, Upright, Reduced, Virtual
Larger angle of incidence = larger angle of refraction
From less dense to more dense mediums, light bends towards normal
From more dense to less dense mediums, light bends away from normal
Wherever the object is with a Diverging lens the image is always After F, Upright, Reduced, VIrtual
If an object is placed before the Focal point with a convex lens the Image will be After the F on the viewers' side, Inverted, Magnified, Real
If an object is placed after the Focal point with a convex lens the Image will be After the F, upright, reduced and virtual
What does diverge mean? To move apart
What does converge mean To come together
How does the human eye focus? The ciliary muscle tugs on the lens, changing it's Focal point
What makes vision blurry? When the Focal point of our eye is no on our Retina
What is Myopia? Shortsightedness. Light focuses before the Retina and can be corrected with Diverging lens glasses
What is Hyperopia? Farsightedness. Light focuses too late after Retina and can be corrected with Converging lens glasses
What is Presbyopia? The Lens of eye becomes too stiff to focus anything. Happens in old age and corrected with "bifocal" glasses
What is Astigmatism? Blurred vision due to incorrectly shaped Corneas

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
