Presentation Transcript

  1. Vocabulary 3.3 Light You will need 10 index cards.

  2. CCGPS • S8P4. Students will explore the wave nature of electromagnetic radiation. • b. Describe how the behavior of light waves is manipulated causing reflection, refraction, diffraction, and absorption. • c. Explain how the human eye sees objects and colors in terms of wavelengths.

  3. Diffuse Reflection • The reflection of light from a surface so that the ray is reflected at many angles rather than at just one angle.

  4. Regular Reflection • If the reflecting surface is very smooth, the reflection of light that occurs is called specular or regular reflection.

  5. Normal Line of Reflection • At the point of incidence where the ray strikes the mirror, a line can be drawn perpendicular to the surface of the mirror. This line is known as a normal line. • The normal line divides the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray into two equal angles.

  6. Law of Reflection • States that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. • http://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-a-concave-mirror-definition-uses-equation.html

  7. Angle of Incidence • The point that the light ray strikes the surface.

  8. Angle of Reflection • Reflection occurs when a light ray hits a surface and bounces off. The angle at which the ray hits the surface is equal to the angle at which it bounces off.

  9. Concave Lens • Having an outline or surface that curves inward like the interior of a circle or sphere.

  10. Convex Lens • Having an outline or surface curved like the exterior of a circle or sphere.

  12. Concave Mirror • When the surface isbulging inward.

  13. Convex Mirror • A convex mirror, fish eye mirror or diverging mirror, is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source. Convex mirrors reflect light outwards, therefore they are not used to focus light.
