What constitutes a rough surface?
sharp shadows
In refraction: when speed decreases in the new medium
monochromatic light
incoherent light
diverging lens
light of a single frequency
large object compared to wavelength
bends towards normal
image seen through wider angle through lens. Converging lens can only magnify when object is between focal point and lens. image is virtual
light waves out of phase
wavelength and differences in elevations
bend rays to diverge as if from single point
Short Answer

In refraction: when speed increases in the new medium
Law of Reflection
focal plane
Index of refraction
objects behind focal points of converging lenses
Multiple Choice
skip
polished surfaces
any bending of a wave by means other than reflection or refraction
line joining centers of curvature
1. Parallel to principal axis passes through focal point after refraction. 2. ray through center goes straight. 3. ray through focal point in front of lens emerges parallel to principal axis
1/o + 1/i = 1/f. o = object distance, i = image distance, f = focal length
causes reflection for certain waves
total internal reflection
distance between center of the lens and focal point
some energy goes to new medium and some reflected
ray reflected off medium
the 100% reflection (with no transmission) of light that strikes a boundary between 2 media at an angle greater than the critical angle
line joining centers of curvature
dispersion
image seen through wider angle through lens. Converging lens can only magnify when object is between focal point and lens. image is virtual
everything reflects
light waves out of phase
separation of light into colors arranged according to frequency
ray reflected off medium
converging lens
1/o + 1/i = 1/f. o = object distance, i = image distance, f = focal length
distance between center of the lens and focal point
light waves in phase (laser)
Ratio of n of the speed of light in a vacuum / speed of light in a material. (n = c/v)
bend rays to converge at single point
totally reflected
everything reflects
1. ray parallel to principal axis bent in same direction as if it came from focal point. 2. through center goes straight. 3. ray headed to focal point on far side bends so emerges parallel
diagrams of refraction, lines that represent positions of different crests
light of a single frequency
any bending of a wave by means other than reflection or refraction
True or False

Young's experiment
Monochromatic light through 2 pinholes, creates fringes of darkness and light on screen due to constructive and destructive interference
True
False
reflection
wave reaches a boundary between two media, some or all the wave bounces back into the first medium
True
False
Huygens' Principal
every point on any wave front can be regarded as a new point source of secondary waves
True
False
reflected ray
ray reflected off medium
True
False
diffuse reflection
light is incidence on a rough surface and is reflected in many directions
True
False
