Light and Optics Almost There

Front

What type of wave is light?

Back

Transverse

Front

What is the nature of the image formed by a converging lens when the object is placed beyond the focal point?

Back

Real, Inverted, and Reduced

Front

If the angle of incidence is 30 degrees, what is the corresponding angle of reflection?

Back

30 degrees (according to the law of reflection)

Front

What is the size of images formed in a plane mirror compared to the object?

Back

Same size

Front

What line is used as a reference for measuring angles of incidence and reflection?

Back

Normal line

Front

What is the definition of a transverse wave?

Back

A wave in which the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of the wave's advance.

Front

What happens to light when it passes through a convex lens?

Back

It converges to a point.

Front

What is the law of reflection?

Back

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Front

What type of image is formed by a concave lens?

Back

Virtual, Upright, and Enlarged or Reduced (depending on the object distance).

Front

What is the focal point of a lens?

Back

The point where parallel rays of light converge or appear to diverge after passing through the lens.
