Nature of Light
This is the term for a particle of light.
What is a photon?
The light produced by a mushroom.
What is bioluminescence?
This type of light has the shortest wavelengths.
What are gamma rays?
This describes the reflective surface which a light ray may hit.
What is a mirror?
This type of image is made on the other side of the mirror than the object.
What is a virtual image?
The distance from one wave peak to another.
What is a wavelength?
The light produced by the Sun.
What is incandescence?
The type of light that bees are able to perceive.
What is ultraviolet?
What is the incident ray?
This characteristic describes the distance to the mirror that an image is created.
What is image location?
This individual suggested that light may be both a particle AND a wave.
Who is Albert Einstein?
The light produced by a glow stick.
What is chemiluminescence?
This LENGTH of wavelength creates a low frequency.
What is long?
This is the angle made between the mirror and the normal line.
What is 90 degrees?
This describes the attitude of an image formed in a plane mirror.
What is upright?
This describes an object that allows SOME light to be transmitted through it.
What is translucent?
The light produced by glow-in-the-dark paint.
What is phosphorescence?
This type of light has wavelengths just longer than visible light, making them invisible to the human eye.
This is the angle measured between the reflected ray and the normal line.
What is the angle of reflection?
In a curved make up mirror, how would you describe the size of the image created in comparison to the original object?
What is larger?
This refers to the height of a wave.
What is amplitude?
The light produced by a fluorescent lightbulb.
What is electric discharge?
This is the unit used to measure wavelengths of light in the visible spectrum.
What is a nanometer?
State the Law of Reflection
"The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection"
A hologram is this type of image.
What is a real image?
