100
Specifically identify the different possibilities of images that can be produced from both a diverging and converging lens.

Diverging: Virtual only

Converging: Real or Virtual

100

How does the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection compare?

Identical/same
100

Speed of light in a vacuum 

3.0 x 108 m/s

100

An equation for relating the distance from the lens to the object, image and focal point.

1/p + 1/q = 1/f

100
Identify the two components of an electromagnetic wave.

Electric and Magnetic Fields

200
If a ray of light traveling through a medium with a low index of refraction passes through a medium with a larger index of refraction (i.e. ni < nr), how will the light ray behave?

Bent towards the normal

200
This observation is made when some of the initial light is absorbed but the rest of it is deflected at the surface and results in a change of direction. 
Reflection
200

Light rays that are completely reflected off the inner surface of water at angles of 900 or greater and stay within the medium are said to undergo this type of reflection. 

Total Internal Reflection

200

If an object is 12 cm away from a converging lens and the focal point is 4cm, determine the location of the image. 

6 cm 

200
A ray of light traveling parallel to the normal on a diverging lens will be:
Bent away in the direction of the focal point.
300

This type of image is produced when rays of light produced from one point converge at one point some distance away from the surface of the lens. 

Real

300

What type of surface will reflect light in many different directions creating diffuse reflection?

Rough, textured, not smooth

300
What are the two types of behaviors that photons exhibit? 

Wave-particle duality

300

What three pieces of information are described by knowing the magnification of the image produced by a converging lens is -2?

Negative: Inverted

Value of 2: Twice as large

Because its inverted from a covnerging lens: Real image

300

A ray of light passing through the focal point on a converging lens will be:

Bent parallel to the normal (i.e. perpendicular to the surface of the lens) 
400
When using a converging lens, how could you make the real image appear larger?

Move the object closer to the focal point, but not within the focal length. 

400
A type of mirror that is identified by its outward bulge or dome-like surface. 

Convex

400

Light that is infinitely far away from the surface of a lens or mirror can be said to be traveling in way specific orientation?

parallel to the normal/perpendicular to the surface of the lens/mirror
400
How is a ray of light refracted as it passes through the center of lens?
Initial path is unchanged
400
A type of medium that acts to bend white light into various types of wavelengths, separating them into ROY G BIV

Prism

500

Draw a ray diagram for a object placed at 12 cm from the surface of a converging lens that has a focal length of 4 cm.  Label the location of the image and determine its magnification. 

Image location: 6 cm (on the opposite side of the lens; real image)

Magnification = -0.5 (inverted, real image, half as large)

500

Raising an object in front of a flat-surface mirror will make the image appear to be:

virtual, the same distance away from the mirror, flipped (i.e. left to right); upright

500

If two polarizers are used on a light source (that can be linearly polarized) and are oriented in such a way that the transmission axis of the polarizing films are perpendicular to one another, what type of polarized light will be transmitted through the films?

No light will be transmitted

500

What type of image will be produced when the object is located inside the focal length of a converging lens?

Virtual (upright and magnified) 
500

Describe an experimental set-up where the object would produced a real, inverted and flipped image?

Object placed outside the focal length of a converging lens: produces real and inverted


Flat mirror: flips images (left-to-right)
