Mirrors
This common type of mirror is one you might find in your bathroom.
What is a plane mirror?
These types of waves are produced by vibrating electrosn.
What are electromagnetic waves?
This is why people can't see all of the waves in EM spectrum
What is our eyes can only perceive visible light?
Light does this as it moves from one material or substance into another.
What is bend?
These are the lowest energy EM waves.
What are radio waves?
This mirror is one that curves toward the observer.
What is concave?
EM waves are not longitudinal but this type of wave.
What is transverse?
Light behaves with the characteristics of these two forms.
What is both wave and particle?
This is the line that is perpendicular to the surface of a new substance or mirror.
What is The Normal?
These have the highest energy in the EM spectrum.
What are gamma rays?
This mirror is one that is bent away from the observer.
What is convex?
This is the characteristic of a wave that measures the distance from crest to crest.
What is wavelength?
This process applied to your sunglasses reduces glare off a reflecting surface.
What is polarization?
If light slows down traveling into a different medium, then it bends this direction.
What is towards the normal?
This section of the EM spectrum is what our eyes can percieve.
What is visible light?
What is a real image?
A wave that has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength will have a relative higher amount of this than its opposite.
What is energy?
Visible light is sandwiched between these two categories of EM waves.
What are IR and UV waves?
(infrared and ultraviolet)
The index of refraction of a substance is this ratio of light speed.
What is speed of light vacuum/speed of light in substance
Heat can be detected with what part of the EM spectrum.
What are infrared waves?
This is the concave mirror equation.
1/d obj + 1/d image = 1/focal length
This equation is used to measure the velocity of a wave.
That is wavelength x frequency?
When a light ray hits a plane mirror, these two angles are equal.
What is the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?
This is Snell's Law mathematically.
n1 x sin theta incidence = n2 x sin theta refraction
These are the waves that create sunburn.
What are ultraviolet waves?
This man's name can help you remember the colors in the visible light spectrum.
What is ROY G BIV?
