• Law of Reflection
    • Angle of incidence == angle of reflection
  • Curved Mirrors
    • Concave
      • Converges at 1 focal point in front
    • Convex
      • diverges from focal point behind
      • gives a reduced and upright image
    • Diffuse Reflection
      • The light is reflected in many different directions
      • can be smooth for some waves and not for another
      • paper is rough for light, but smooth for a radio wave
    • Refraction
      • occurs when the ave speed of light changes from going through transparent mediums
      • Ex. Water in a cup
    • Lenses
      • Converging
        • Converge at one focal point
        • llike concave mirror
        • can be used to zoom in or reduced/inverted
        • used for glasses, microscopes, mag glass
      • Diverging
        • Diverg e from one focal point
        • reduced and upright image
        • Used in Telescopes, spy hole in dor etc
      • Defects
        • distortion is called aberration
        • more than 1 lens stops apperations
        • Spherical Aberration
          • doesn't converge at one point
        • Chromatic abberation
          • different speeds of colors cause them to separate
    • Huygen's Principle
      • every wave front can create others
      • IDEA: Wave fronts are made of of tiny wave fronts
      • Diffraction
        • Wave can pass through opening/barrier
        • if light goes through a slit, it diffracts, won't show the light on the back
      • Interference
        • combined amplitude
