This is what the light ray is called once it reflects off a mirror.
What is reflected ray
100
True or False: The angle of incidence of a light ray is equal to the angle of refraction
What is false
100
This part of the electromagnetic spectrum is what we can see.
What is the visible spectrum
100
The three primary colours of light are
What is red, green, blue
100

What are the different parts of a wave?

Wavelength, Amplitude, Crest and Trough

200
This is the light ray that first hits the mirror
What is the incidence ray
200
This is a measurement of how much light slows down in a substance
What is refractive index
200
Name all the colours of the visible spectrum
What is ROYGBIV
200
This colour is produced when blue and green light are mixed together
What is cyan
200

What does the acronym LOST stand for when describing an image?

Location, Orientation, Size and Type

300
If the angle of incidence is 54 degrees, the angle of reflection will be?
What is 54 degrees
300

True or false: Light bends away from the normal when going from air to water

False

300
This type of electromagnetic radiation is responsible for the sunburns we experience when we're in the sun too long.
What is UV radiation
300
This colour of light is produced when red and green light are mixed together
What is yellow
300

What are the 3 types of mirrors we looked at?

Plane, Concave and Convex

400
This is the type of reflection that happens when a light ray hits a smooth surface
What is specular reflection
400
In which medium would light travel the slowest: space, air or water?
What is water
400
This type of electromagnetic radiation creates images of our bones on films
What is X-rays
400

This model of colour explains what is produced when different colours of light are mixed together

The additive model of colour

400

What does a diverging lens do to light? Converging?

diverging - light rays spread out once passed through the lens

converging - light rays converge (come together) once passed through the lens

500
This is the type of reflection that occurs when light rays hit an uneven surface (i.e. side of a mountain)
What is diffuse reflection
500

Which angle would be larger when light travels from water to air, the angle of incidence or the angle of refraction?

Angle of refraction

500
This type of radiation is also a common way that we heat our food
What is microwaves
500

This model of colour explains why objects are the colour they are based on the light that is absorbed and reflected by an object

Subtractive model of colour

500

Where is a virtual image located? A real image?

virtual - behind the mirror

real - in front of the mirror
