Mirrors Flashcards
(24 cards)
Define Mirrors
Reflective surface that bounces off light
Describe the PLANE type of Mirrors
Flat mirrors that reflect images in their normal proportions, reversed from left to right
Give at least 2 examples of CONVEX mirrors
-car mirrors
-security cameras
-street intersection mirrors
Name the two types of CURVED MIRRORS
Concave and Convex mirrors
What is a spherical mirror curved inward like a spoon that can magnify objects or focus light to a point?
Concave mirrors
Convex or Concave. Parallel rays of light will be reflected through focal point
Concave Mirror
Concave or Convex. Reflected and travel parallel to the major axis and passes through the focal point
Convex Mirror
What is the type of reflection also known as **irregular reflection **?
Diffused reflection
What ways do light rays travel if the reflection is regular? Does it maintain original pattern or not?
Same angle, it maintains original pattern
Describe “Reflection”
The production of an image by or as if by a mirror
It has sharp and clear images also known as Specular reflection. Examples are calm water, and polished metal.
Regular reflection
Light rays is reflected at _________ angles due to _________
Many/scattered ; uneven surface
One of the examples of the 1st Law are flat mirror, describe this Law
The incident, reflected, and normal ray all lie in the same plane
An imaginary line that is perpendicular to a surface
Normal Ray
State the 2nd Law of reflection
The angle of reflection in equal to the angle of incident
The angle of incidence is an angle between?
normal and incident ray
angle between reflected and normal ray
Angle of reflection
When are real images fromed?
When light rays converge or intersect and actually meet after reflecting off mirror or through a lens
What images are usually upright?
Virtual Images
How does virtual images formed?
When light rays appear to diverge from a point
Give 3 examples of real images
Camera, concave mirror, projector
Give 3 examples of virtual images
Flat mirror, concave lens, pressing mirror
