"Watts" Up with Waves?
Light is a wave that carries this from one place to another.
Energy
An object like a star that makes its own light is called this.
Luminous
This is the name of the "incoming" ray of light that hits the mirror.
Incident ray
A concave mirror is shaped like the inside of this eating tool.
Spoon
In a convex mirror, the shiny part curves in this direction.
Outward
This is the distance from the top of one wave to the top of the next wave.
Wavelength
This is light made from being very hot, like a burning piece of wood or a toaster wire.
Incandescence
The Law of Reflection says the Angle of Incidence is always ____ to the Angle of Reflection.
Equal
This is the point where all the light rays meet after they hit the mirror.
Focal Point
Unlike concave mirrors, the Focal Point (F) in a convex mirror is located here.
Behind the mirror
This is the name for the whole "family" of light waves, from Radio to Gamma rays.
Electromagnetic Spectrum
This is light made by living things, like a firefly.
Bioluminescence
This word describes a material that lets some light through, but you cannot see through it clearly.
Translucent
Concave mirrors are also called "Converging" mirrors because the light rays do this.
They come together
Convex mirrors are often used on cars as these types of mirrors.
Side-view mirrors
When you add more energy, the wavelength gets shorter but this property gets higher.
Frequency
This type of light happens when you crush or rub certain crystals together.
Triboluminescence
Name all four parts of the SALT acronym used to describe images.
Size, Attitude, Location, and Type
If you put an object between the Focal Point (F) and the Mirror (V), what is the Size and Attitude?
Bigger and Upright
In a convex mirror, the image is always these two SALT properties for Attitude and Type.
Upright and Virtual
List all the types of electromagnetic waves in order from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength
Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X-rays, and Gamma rays.
Explain the difference between Fluorescence and Phosphorescence.
Fluorescence stops glowing immediately, but Phosphorescence glows for a long time
In a plane (flat) mirror, the image is always the same size and upright. What are the Location and Type?
Behind the mirror and Virtual
If an object is "Beyond C" (far away), the image is smaller and inverted. Is the image Real or Virtual?
Real
In a convex mirror, as an object moves farther away from the mirror, what happens to the size of the image?
It gets even smaller
