Question
Answer
Light that doesn't travel through a mirror is...?   reflected  
🗑
What does the Law of Reflection state?   that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.  
🗑
What is the line perpendicular to where the incident ray strikes?   the normal  
🗑
A regular mirror is called...?   plane  
🗑
A plane mirror always shows what kind of image?   virtual  
🗑
A virtual image is always...?   right side up  
🗑
what is a mirror that curves outward?   convex  
🗑
what is a mirror that curves inward?   concave  
🗑
What kind of mirror creates a focal point?   concave  
🗑
Is a real image right side up or inverted?   inverted  
🗑
What is a diffuse reflection?   a reflection from a rough surface  
🗑
Each ray in a diffuse relfection...?   obeys the law of reflection  
🗑
What is reflected sound called?   an echo  
🗑
The study of sound is called...?   acoustics  
🗑
Reflections of sound are called...?   reverberations  
🗑
What is it called when a wave bends when it crosses the boundary between two media?   refraction  
🗑
Do waves travel faster in deep or shallow water?   shallow  
🗑
What represents the postitions of different waves?   wave fronts  
🗑
When do sound refractions occur?   uneven winds and changes in temperature  
🗑
Does sound travel faster in warm or cold air?   warm  
🗑
Changes in speed of light, as it passes from one medium to another, or variations in the temperature and densities of the same medium cause what?   refractions  
🗑
does light travel faster in air or water?   air

🗑
in despersion, does red or violet bend more?   violet  
🗑

🗑
What happends when the angle of incidence is larger than the critical angle?   total interbal reflection  
🗑
What is the critical angle?   the angle of incidence at which the light is reflected at an angle of 90 degrees  
🗑
when there is a critical angle the intensity of the emerging beam is...?   zero  
🗑
optical fibers are sometimes called   light pipes  
🗑
optical fibers use ______ to disperse light   a series of total internal reflections  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
