1. If an object is outside the focal point on a concave mirror, the image will be
a. virtual and inverted.
b. real and inverted.
c. virtual and upright.
d. none of the above.
4. A convex lens has a focal length of 25.5 cm. If an object is placed 72.5 cm from the lens,
the image's distance from the lense will be
a. 31.7 cm
b. 33.5 cm
c. 39.3 cm
d. none of the above.
5. Which type of mirror produces an image that is always erect, always the same height as
the object, and always virtual?
a. Concave
b. Convex
c. Plane
d. None of the above
6. A concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 1.6 m. The focal length is
a. 0.80 m. (Note: The focal length is always 1/2 the length of curvature.)
b. 3.2 m.
c. 32 cm.
d. none of the above.
7. The bending of light as it travels from one medium into another is called
a. reflection.
b. diffraction.
c. refraction.
d. none of the above.
8. The law that describes the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of
reflection is called
a. the law of reflection.
b. the law of refraction.
c. a virtual image.
d. none of the above.
9. If your face is 62 cm in front of a plane mirror, where is the image of your face located?
a. 62 cm in front of the mirror
b. 62 cm in back of the mirror
c. 62 cm below the mirror
d. 31 cm in front of the mirror
Feedback: Lenses have at least one curved side, whether they are convex or concave.
convex
A)
reflecting
B)
plane
C)
concave
D)
Feedback: Convex lenses cause light rays to converge, thus making them useful to
magnify things.
the difference between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection
A)
the distance from the center of the mirror to the focal point
B)
Feedback: The focal length measures the distance from the mirror to the focal point in
space.
Feedback: When light moves from one medium to the next, the speed of light can change
and cause refraction.
convex
A)
plane
B)
reflecting
C)
concave
D)
Feedback: Concave lenses are used for nearsightedness; convex lenses are used for
farsightedness.
a car windshield
A)
magnifying glass
B)
nearsighted eyeglasses
D)
Feedback: Magnifying glasses are made from convex lenses to increase the size of an
object's image.
in a circle
B)
in all directions
C)
in a straight line
D)
just as smooth as
A)
rougher than
C)
smoother than
D)
Feedback: Object A, which reflects more than object B, does so because it is smoother.
flat
A)
convex
B)
plane
C)
concave
D)
Feedback: Flat mirrors reflect light off a plane, thus the name plane mirror.
Feedback: Yellow, magenta, and cyan are three colors that can be mixed to absorb different
colors.
to magnify an image
D)
Feedback: Telescopes are designed to collect light first, then magnify it.
Feedback: Any item appears a certain color because that color is reflected from ambient
light.
Feedback: Light reflects off matter, which allows us to see different things.
It gets larger.
A)
It gets smaller.
B)
the lens
B)
the cornea
C)
the retina
D)
Feedback: Your lens projects an image on your retina, which is then interpreted by your
brain.
convex lens
A)
concave mirror
B)
convex mirror
C)
plane mirror
D)
Feedback: Concave lenses give images similar to convex mirrors. Convex lenses give
images similar to concave mirrors.
fastest in water
D)
Feedback: The speed of light changes, depending on its medium. In water, it is slower than
it is in air, and this is what causes refraction.
Feedback: The law of reflection states that the angles of incidence (incoming) is equal to
the angle of reflection (outgoing).
mirrors
A)
cameras
B)
lenses
C)
computers
D)
Feedback: Mirrors are used in large telescopes because lenses would be too heavy.
