What term indicates the point where reflected light ray meet along an optical axis?
A focal point is the point where reflected light rays meet along an optical axis.
Causes light rays passing through it to meet at a focal point?
A lens.
What is the difference between the way parallel light rays are affected by a concave mirror and a concave lens?
The difference between the two is that once the light passes through the concave lens it diverges, and the rays are refracted outward, and never meet a focal point. Then there is the parallel light rays that bounce off the curved surface of a concave mirror and then meet a single point ( focal point).
What do lenses do to light rays?
They make the light rays converge to a point. Parallel rays converge at the focal point of the lens
Explain the difference between the concave mirror and convex mirror?
A convex mirror bulges out. A concave mirror curves inward.For a convex mirror, light rays are reflected to meet at a point, while, for a concave mirror, light rays seem to be reflected from a point. If the incident rays were paraxial, the reflected rays are reflected to meet at, or appear to be reflected to a point referred to as the focal point of the lens. For a convex mirror, the focal point is real, while, that of a concave lens is virtual.
The point at which light rays meet is called the what?
The focal point?
What term indicately the point where reflected light rays meet along optical axis?
A focal point is the point where reflected light rays meet along an optical axis.
When is the image said to be real or virtual image?
An image is called real if the light rays coming from a point(point on object) meet at a point after reflection or refraction. An image is virtual if the light rays do not actually meet after reflection or refraction. These rays appear to come from a point which is the point where we say virtual image is formed.
What term indicates the point where reflected light ray meet along an optical axis?
A focal point is the point where reflected light rays meet along an optical axis.
Causes light rays passing through it to meet at a focal point?
A lens.
What will light rays that pass through a convex lens do?
spread out aplus users
What is distance between mirror or lens and place where light rays meet?
Focal point
What is the difference between the way parallel light rays are affected by a concave mirror and a concave lens?
The difference between the two is that once the light passes through the concave lens it diverges, and the rays are refracted outward, and never meet a focal point. Then there is the parallel light rays that bounce off the curved surface of a concave mirror and then meet a single point ( focal point).
How does a lens create an image?
A lens forms an image when all the rays of light meet in the focal point.
Why is convex lens also called converging lens?
because light rays meet at a single point and do not spread out.
What do lenses do to light rays?
They make the light rays converge to a point. Parallel rays converge at the focal point of the lens
An image formed when rays actually meet is called?
When light rays come together, they converge.
