What is the angle of incidence?

The angle the incoming ray makes with an imaginary line.

2
New cards

What does the angle of incidence equal?

The angle of reflection.

3
New cards

What is diffuse reflection?

Reflection of light from a rough surface.

4
New cards

What is regular reflection?

Also known as specular reflection, it is the reflection of light from a smooth surface.

5
New cards

What type of mirror is a plane mirror?

A mirror with a flat surface that only reflects virtual and right-side up images.

6
New cards

What kind of images do convex mirrors produce?

Convex mirrors always produce virtual images that appear smaller and farther away.

7
New cards

Give an example of a convex mirror.

The passenger-side rearview mirror of a car.

8
New cards

What type of images do concave mirrors form?

Concave mirrors can form either virtual or real images depending on the object's position relative to the focal point.

9
New cards

What is a focal point in relation to concave mirrors?

The point at which the reflected rays meet along the principal axis.

10
New cards

What characteristic of images is produced by concave mirrors?

Concave mirrors produce magnified images because the mirror is converging.

11
New cards

What happens to real images produced by concave mirrors?

Real images appear upside-down.
