UNDERSTANDING REFLECTION
Questions to consider:
What is reflection?
How Do Reflected Light Waves Behave?
MIRRORS: CONCAVE, CONVEX
Use this video to figure out the difference between the 3 types of mirrors.
INTRODUCTION VIDEOS: REFRACTION
Bending Light
ABSORPTION, REFLECTION, AND TRANSMISSION
The grit of what we are looking at.
FOR YOUR NOTEBOOK:
Vocabulary and Notes:
Reflection - To strike a surface and bounce back in the opposite direction.
Angle of Incidence the angle which an incident line or ray makes with a line perpendicular to the surface.
Mirror - a reflective surface that reflects a clear image.
Types of Mirrors:
Convex - curve outward like the outside of a sphere.
Concave - curve inward like the inside of a spoon.
Flat - reflects images in their normal proportions, reversed from left to right.
Transmission: The way light passes through the new medium.
Refraction: When any wave energy bends or spreads out when entering a new medium.
Absorption: When electromagnetic radiation is taken into a new medium. Normally this medium will convert it into heat or electrical energy.
THE EFFECTS OF ABSORPTION
REFRACTION AT ITS FINEST | WELL HELLO ROYGBIV
BOTH SIDES OF THE SPOON.....WHICH IS CONVEX AND WHICH IS CONCAVE?
