Optics: Reflection-Mirrors; Total Internal Reflection

Front

Convex Mirrors produce...

Back

only virtual images

Front

The ray that bounces off the mirror is called the:

Back

Reflected Ray

Front

A mirror with a surface that curves inward like the inside of a bowl is called a:

Back

concave mirror

Front

The angle between the incident ray and the normal is called:

Back

Angle of Incidence

Front

The concept that explains how angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection is:

Back

Law of Reflection

Front

What type of image does a concave mirror produce when the object is placed beyond the center of curvature?

Back

Real and inverted image

Front

What is the focal point of a concave mirror?

Back

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

Front

What happens to light rays that strike a convex mirror?

Back

They diverge and appear to come from a virtual focal point behind the mirror.

Front

What is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?

Back

They are always equal according to the Law of Reflection.

Front

What is total internal reflection?

Back

The phenomenon where a light ray reflects completely within a medium when it hits the boundary at an angle greater than the critical angle.
