Waves
Defined as the highest point of a wave
Crest
How many different types of mirrors did we talk about?
3 (Plane, Concave, Convex)
What determines of light will refract from one medium to another
Index of Refraction
What is the main wave property used in diffraction
Interference
How many parts are there to the electromagnetic spectrum
7
What do we call the distance between the peak of a wave to the next peak.
Wavelength
Which type of mirror creates real images
Concave
Going from water to air, which direction will the light bend?
Away from the normal
Does changing the wavelength (color) of light change the diffraction pattern?
Yes
Where does visible light fall on the spectrum
Right in the middle. 400nm-700nm
Distance to a waves resting point to its peak
Amplitude
On a ray diagram what is the point called that we pass the rays through?
Focal Point
What are the 2 main categories of lenses used in refraction?
Converging and Diverging lenses.
What is the equation for resolving 2 images in a lense
1.22*Lambda/D
Do electromagnetic waves require a medium to travel?
no
The type of wave that propagates perpendicular to the direction of travel.
Transversal Wave
How do we solve for the radius of curvature
2*focal point
How do we find the index of refraction?
n=c/v (Speed of light in a vacuum/Speed of light in specific medium)
What is the rainbow effect of a diffraction grading called?
Iridescence
What type of waves have the highest energy?
Gamma Waves
Which type of wave does not require a medium to pass through?
Electromagnetic Waves
What is the equation for magnification?
-di/do or hi/ho
What is the requirement for a medium to have a critical angle?
Have a larger index of refraction then the new medium.
what is another term for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation?
Laser
