What else can I help you with?
Do lenses transmit and refract light?
Yes, lenses transmit light by allowing it to pass through, and they refract light by bending it as it travels through the lens. This bending of light is what allows lenses to focus and magnify images.
Which images do light rays never pass through?
Light rays do not pass through opaque objects such as walls, thick metals, or dense stones. These materials absorb or reflect light rather than allowing it to pass through.
What is it called when you bend light so it looks like its broken?
That phenomenon is called refraction, where light bends as it passes from one medium to another, creating the appearance of broken or distorted images. This effect can be seen when light travels through materials of different densities, such as water or glass.
What cause the funny mirrors to be distorted?
Funny mirrors are distorted due to their curved surfaces that bend and reflect light in unusual ways, resulting in distorted and exaggerated reflections of objects in front of them. The shape and curvature of the mirror cause light rays to be reflected at different angles, creating funhouse effects such as stretching, shrinking, or flipping the reflected images.
Why is it important for the mirrors to have smooth surfaces?
Mirrors need to have smooth surfaces to reflect light efficiently and accurately. Any imperfections or roughness on the surface can cause light to scatter or be distorted, resulting in a blurry or distorted reflection. Smooth surfaces help produce clear and sharp images.
What causes the images of funny mirrors to be distorted?
because of the light rays and uneven surface

What are three types reflect light rays to form?
Smooth, polished surfaces reflect light rays to form regular, well-defined images. Rough, irregular surfaces reflect light rays to form diffuse reflections with no distinct images. Curved surfaces, such as mirrors, can reflect light rays to form focused or distorted images depending on the curvature and shape of the surface.
What is the definition of 'translucent'?
Translucent means allowing light to pass through, but diffusing it so that objects on the other side are not clearly visible. It is a property between transparent (fully allowing light through) and opaque (not allowing light through).
Does tracing paper allow only some light to pass through?
Yes. Some light is absorbed by the paper and some is reflected. Only some light passes through.
How does light pass through the eye and enable us to see?
Light enters the eye through the cornea, then passes through the pupil and lens to focus on the retina at the back of the eye. The retina contains light-sensitive cells called photoreceptors that convert light into electrical signals. These signals are then sent to the brain through the optic nerve, where they are processed and interpreted as images, allowing us to see.
What are two types of images produced by mirrors?
Two types of images produced by mirrors are real images and virtual images. Real images are formed when light rays actually pass through a point, while virtual images are formed when light rays appear to be coming from a point but do not actually pass through it.
