Study Notes
- All types of electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum.
- Changing the wavelength of visible light changes its color.
- Light travels more slowly in glass than in air.
- When a light ray travels from air into glass at an angle, it is refracted toward the normal with the boundary.
- Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a more-dense material to a less-dense material.
- The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence; thus, if the angle of incidence is 25o from the normal, the angle of reflection is also 25o from the normal.
- The image formed in a plane mirror is always virtual and upright.
- The image formed in a convex mirror is always virtual and smaller.
- A compound microscope contains two converging lenses.
- When an object is positioned at the focal point of a converging lens, no image is formed.
- Hyperopia (farsightedness) is corrected by converging lenses.
- The image formed on the retina of the eye is inverted and real.
- An object that reflects all colors of light will appear colorless (white).
- Dispersion occurs when white light is refracted.
- Light produced by an object at a high temperature is called incandescent.
