Power Point Notes

QuestionAnswer
What happens when waves fall on a transparent medium? The waves are partly reflected and partly refracted.
What happens when a wave reaches the boundary between two media? Usually some or all of the wave bounces back into the first medium.
Why are metals such as silver and aluminim so shiny? Light energy does not propagate into the metal, but instead is returned in a reflected wave. Metal surfaces are rigid to light waves.
What does the law of reflection state? That the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are equal to each other.
What is the normal and how is it drawn? A line perpendicular to the point where the incident ray strikes the barrier, and it is drawn as a dashed line.
What kind of mirrors produce virtual light? Plane mirrors.
What is a convex and concave mirror? A mirror that curves outward, and a mirror that curves inward.
True or False: Mirrors can be grouped according to their shape. If true, what groups are there? True, plane mirrors, convex mirrors, and concave mirrors.
What is an image? A likeness or reproduction of an object.
How are real images formed? By converging light rays and can be displayed on a screen. These images are always inverted.
What are virtual images? Images that seem to be in or behind the mirror. These images are always upright.
What happens when light is incident on a rough surface? The light is reflected in many directions.
What happens to sound energy that is not reflected? It is absorbed or transmitted.
What is acoustics? The study of the reflective properties of surfaces.
What is an echo? Reflected sound.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
