Presentation Transcript

  1. As regards the formation of an image by an optical system such as a plane mirror, what will serve as an object? a) An emitter of light, such as, a candle. b) A diffuse reflector of light. c) Both a and b. d) None of the above.

  2. What is the difference between a real image and a virtual image? a) A real image is formed by rays of light that converge onto the position of the image whereas a virtual image isn’t. b) A real image will appear on a piece of tissue paper, the way a power point slide on a screen does, if the tissue paper is held at the position of the image. A virtual image won’t. c) Both a and b above. d) None of the above.

  3. What minimum distance below eye level must a head-high plane vertical mirror extend in order for a person standing straight up in front of the mirror to be able to see his own feet? Assume the person to be more than a meter away from the mirror but less than 5 meters. a) About 2 cm down toward the floor from eye level. b) About one quarter of the way down to the floor from eye level. c) About one half of the way down to the floor from eye level. d) All the way down to the floor.

  4. The law of reflection states that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. In that statement, what is meant by the expression "angle of reflection?" a) The angle of reflection is the angle between the image and the object. b) The angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal. c) The angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the surface of the mirror. d) The angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the incident ray.
