|
|
In the figure, the angle of incidence is |
|
|
The characteristics of an image created by convex mirrors are different than concave mirrors. How are concave mirrors different? |
It is always upright and smaller. |
|
Light bending when it crosses between two mediums is called |
Refraction |
|
As light travels from one medium to another, the [BLANK] stays constant. |
Frequency |
|
An electron emits a photon when it |
Teleports from an outer shell to an inner shell. |
|
In a double split experiment, how could you eliminate the fringing affect? |
Make the slits much larger. |
|
How does the intensity of unpolarized light change as it passes through a polarizer? |
It reduces by half |
|
What quality of optical instrument is affected by diffraction? |
Resolution |
|
What is an interferometer typically used for? |

|
An object in front of a lense produces a real image. What is true about this image? |
It is inverted |
|
|
Figures 2 and 4 |
|
If an object is placed less than the focal distance away from a converging lens, the image will be |
Larger, virtual, upright |
|
If an object is placed further away than the focal distance for a diverging lens, the image will be |
Virtual, smaller, upright. |
|
When an incidence ray of light strikes the surface of an object the ray can be |
Reflected, absorbed, scattered, and transmitted. |
|
If an object moves towards earth, the light emitted by the object is shifted |
Blue |
|
Different refraction for different colors is due to |
Speed of light in a medium, wavelengths of white light, angle of incidence, and frequency of white light |
|
The angle of incidence is shown by what letter in the figure? |
|
|
Dense materials have what type of index of reflection? How will light move through this material? |
Higher, slower |
|
For a divergent lens, where will the focal point be? |
The back side of the lens. |
|
Total internal reflection can only happen when the speed of light is |
Less in the current material |
|
A light ray will refract the furthest from normal in a material: |
With a smaller n than the incident material. |
