Ray Diagrams - Mirrors

What kind of mirrors are in the telescope used to view Jupiter.

• flat

• concave

• convex

• flat and concave

• flat and convex

What type of mirror curves inward?

• flat

• convex

• concave

What do parallel light waves do when the hit at convex mirror?

• diverge

• converge

• reflect straight back

What is the angle of incidence equal to?

• angle of reflection

• angle of deflection

• angle of refraction

The distance from the mirror to the object is equal to what?

• 1/2 the distance to the virtual image.

• The distance to the virtual image.

• It depends on the height of the object.

How large does the mirror need to be to see your entire body in the mirror?

• The same size as your body.

• 1/2 the size of your body .

What is the center of the mirror called?

• focal point

• center of curvature

• focal length

• principal axis

How far away is the focal point from the mirror?

• half the distance to center of curvature

• half the diameter

• same as the radius

What is the object in this diagram?

• The mirror

• The principal axis

• The parallel light ray

• The upright arrow

After parallel light rays hit the mirror, what direction do they bounce?

• straight back

• through the focal point

• through the center of curvature
