Why are we able to see objects?
light rays are reflected off the object
What is a virtual image?
In optics, a virtual image is an image in which the outgoing rays from a point on the object never actually intersect at a visable point. However, if these rays were stretched out they would intersect at a point behind the mirror/surface.
An image formed when rays actually meet is called?
When light rays come together, they converge.
How shadows are formed?
A shadow is formed when an opaque object blocks the travel of light on a second object. Light travels in straight lines and any barrier along its path averts the rays striking the barrier.This forms a region of darkness, shaped like the surface of the object obstructing the light. A shadow takes up all the space behind the object with light before it. Its cross-section is a two-dimensional outline of the obstructing object. The shadow is smaller if the angle between an object and the path of light is nearer to 90°. It is longer if the angle between the surface and the path of light is smaller. If the obstructing object is closer to the starting point of light, the shadow is larger.
What mirror causes light rays to converge?
concave mirror and convex lens can be used to focus light rays. they are also called converging mirror and lens respectively. They focus the light at a distance of its focal length.
When light bounces of an object what is call?
it is the bouncing back of lights rays from surface. It is called reflection.
What dose reflection mean?
Is the bouncing back of light rays when they hit an object.
What does light rays bouncing off the surface of an object mean?
Scattering if it happens at random and said to be "reflection" if it is stream lined.
What is the bouncing of light rays off of a surface?
a reflection
Why is reflection of light similar to bouncing a ball?
The glass refelxs the suns rays,
A copy of an object formed by reflected or retracted rays of light is called an?
it is called an image
When light rays bounce off an object the bounceing is called?
reflection.
What is true of an angle of light rays coming into an object and the angle of light rays reflected off an object?
Reflected rays are equal to the angle of incoming rays.
What is true of the angle of light ray s coming into an object and the angle of light rays reflected off an object?
Reflected rays are equal to the angle of incoming rays.
If a dark field condenser causes all light rays to bypass the objective where does the light come from that makes an object visible in a dark field?
Oblique rays that strike the object. Oblique rays strike the object being viewed, illuminating the object and reflect light rays up through the objective.
When light bounces back you call it?
The bouncing back of light is called Reflection
What travels from the object to your eye?
Light rays.
