What forms a virtual image?
A virtual image is formed when light rays appear to diverge from a point behind a mirror or lens, after being reflected or refracted. The rays do not actually converge at the location of the image, but the brain perceives them as if they did. This creates the illusion of an image that is not real.
The point where light waves appear to meet after being reflected by a mirror or lens?
The point is known as the focal point or focus. Light waves converge at this point after being reflected by a mirror or lens, allowing for clear and focused images to be formed.
How do you determine virtual and real images?
A virtual image is formed when light rays appear to intersect after being reflected or refracted. It cannot be projected onto a screen. A real image is formed when light rays actually intersect at a specific point after being reflected or refracted. It can be projected onto a screen.
Will a concave or a convex mirror make you larger?
A concave mirror will make you appear larger. The mirror curves inward, causing light rays to converge and creating a magnified image of the object being reflected.
A typical mirror in a persons house is an example of what kind of mirror?
A typical mirror in a person's house is an example of a flat or plane mirror. These mirrors produce virtual images that appear upright and the same size as the object being reflected.
What is happening to light when it is being reflected?
The light bends. Depending on whether it is a concave or convex mirror, the light is either being refracted or reflected

Is a bird looking at a mirror an example of light being refracted?
No, a bird looking at a mirror is an example of light being reflected, not refracted. When light hits the mirror, it bounces off in a different direction but does not change mediums. Refraction is when light passes through different mediums and changes direction.

Can your shadow be reflected in the mirror?
No, your shadow cannot be reflected in a mirror. A mirror can only reflect light that is directly shone on it, whereas a shadow is an absence of light being cast by an object blocking light sources.
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.
What is the principle focus of a concave mirror?
The principle focus of a concave mirror is the point at which parallel rays of light converge or appear to diverge from after being reflected. It is where the reflected rays meet if extended backward.
Why do we have rainbows and what causes their vibrant colors to appear in the sky?
Rainbows occur when sunlight is refracted, or bent, and reflected inside raindrops, creating a spectrum of colors. The different colors appear due to the varying wavelengths of light being separated as they pass through the raindrops.
