A reflection from a smooth surface is called:

A specular reflection

A reflection off of a rough surface is

Diffused reflection

In the photo, the angle of reflection is

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?

Small changes in distance.

The medium that is required to propagate an electromagnetic wave

None of the above.

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.

The charge on an electron is

Negative

The charge on a proton is

Positive

The charge on a full hydrogen atom

Zero

Capacitance is dependent on

Plate thickness, surface area, max voltage tolerance of deficit, and temp.

The push is

EP

Most correct unit for voltage times current?

J/s

Resistance is dependent on

All of the above.

In a series circuit, equal resistors see the same what?

Current and voltage.

In a series circuit unequal resistors see the same what?

Current only.

Correct junction rule equation

I1- I2 - I3 = 0

Magnetic field is caused by

All of the above.

What stores energy in a magnetic field?

Inductors.

Capacitors store energy in the

Electric field

Capacitor reactants becomes small as

Frequency gets bigger

Inductor becomes smaller as

Frequency gets smaller.
