Question
Answer
lens   a piece of glass(or other transparent material) that can bend parallel rays of light so that they cross,or appear to cross,at a single point.  
🗑
converging lens   a lens that is the thickest in the middle,causing parallel rays of light to converge to a focus.  
🗑
convex lens   middle,causing parallel rays of light to converge to a focus.  
🗑
diverging lens   a lens that is the thinnest in the middle and that causes parallel rays of light to diverge  
🗑
concave lens   a lens that is the thinnest in the middle and that causes parallel rays of light to diverge  
🗑
principal axis   the line joining the centers of curature of the surfaces of a lens  
🗑
focal point   for converging lens the point at which a beam of light parallel to the principal axis converges for a diverging lens the point from which such a beam appears to come  
🗑
focal plane   a plane passing through either focal point of a lens that is perpendicualr to the principal axis. for a converging lens, any incident parallel beam of light converges to a point somewhere on a focal plane. for a diverging lens, such a beam  
🗑
focal length   the distance between the center of a lens and either focal point  
🗑
real image   an image that is formed by converging light rays and that can be displayed on a screen  
🗑
virtual image   an image formed through reflection or refraction that can be seen by an observer but cannot be projected on a screen because light from the object does not actually come to a focus  
🗑
ray diagram   a diagram showing rays that can drawn to determine the size and location of an image formed by a mirror or lens  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
