Front

What is the point called where parallel light rays converge when they strike a concave mirror?

Back

Focal point

Front

What type of image forms where rays diverge?

Back

Virtual image

Front

True or False: When parallel light rays strike a convex mirror, they converge.

Back

False

Front

What type of mirror causes light rays to diverge?

Back

Convex mirror

Front

What is the term for the reflection of light waves from a rough surface?

Back

Diffuse reflection

Front

What is a concave mirror?

Back

A mirror that curves inward and can converge light rays.

Front

What is a convex mirror?

Back

A mirror that curves outward and causes light rays to diverge.

Front

What is the difference between a real image and a virtual image?

Back

A real image can be projected on a screen, while a virtual image cannot.

Front

What happens to light rays when they strike a plane mirror?

Back

They reflect at the same angle they hit the mirror.

Front

What is the normal line in reflection?

Back

An imaginary line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence.
