Front

What is the size of the image formed by a plane mirror compared to the object?

Back

The image is the same size as the object.

Front

What type of image is formed by a plane mirror?

Back

A virtual image.

Front

Back

Diffuse reflection occurs when light rays strike a rough surface and scatter in many directions.

What happens to a light ray when it strikes a reflective surface?

Back

The light ray is reflected.

Front

What is the function of the optic nerve?

Back

Carries electrical impulses away from the eye to the brain.

Front

What is a plane mirror?

Back

A flat mirror that reflects light to form a virtual image.

Front

What is the law of reflection?

Back

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

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 is the significance of the focal point in mirrors?

Back

The focal point is where parallel rays of light converge after reflecting off the mirror.

Front

What is the difference between concave and convex mirrors?

Back

Concave mirrors converge light rays, while convex mirrors diverge them.
