  • When does a light ray stop traveling in a straight line?
    When it moves through a new material
  • What is the law of reflection?
    Angle in = angle out
  • What is the focal point?
    Point where light rays meet
  • What can light waves travel through?
    Empty space, solids, liquids, or gases
  • Which mirror gives a wide-angle view?
    convex
  • If the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray is 90°, what is the angle of incidence?
    45°
  • What is refraction?
    Bending of light when it passes from one medium to another
  • Which type of mirror is used in telescopes?
    concave
  • A ray strikes a mirror, and the reflected ray makes a 50° angle with the surface. What is the angle of incidence?
    40°
  • What is the speed of light in space?
    299,792,458 meters per second (about 300,000 km/s or 186,000 miles per second).
  • What does opaque mean?
    blocks all light

    60°
  • Which lens is thicker in the middle?
