Term
converging lens (oval)
Definition
1. parallel to converging axis, then through focal point on other side
2. straight through optical axis (center of lens)
3. through close focus, then parallel to optical axis
Term
can be extended
Definition
lens
Term
can't be extended
Definition
mirror
Term
diverging lens (concave weird shape)
Definition
1. straight through optical axis
2. parallel to optical axis, then up to where same side focal line would be
3. towards far focal point, then parallel to optical axis
Term
concave mirror (converging, bump facing away)
Definition
1. parallel to optical axis, then bounces back through same side focus
2. towards optical axis then bounces at same angle
3. through radius, then bounces straight back
Term
convex mirror (diverging, bouncing off bump)
Definition
1. parallel to optical axis, then bounces off where focus line would be
2. headed towards radius, bounces off same
3. towards optical axis, then away at same angle
Term
big n
Definition
slower (water greater than air)
Term
light enters a new medium where n is bigger
Definition
light bends towards normal
Term
light enters a new medium where n is less
Definition
light refracts away from normal
Term
small angles (looking into a pool)
Definition
tanO=sinO
Term
focal length +/- (converging vs. diverging)
Definition
c = +, d = -.
Term
Object distance +/-
Definition
object on side of lens that light's coming from = +, all the rest = -.
Term
Image distance +/-
Definition
image on opposite side of lens from light (real) = +, same side (virtual) = -
Term
height +/1
Definition
positive if upright, negative if inverted. (innitial height always positive)
Term
thin film interference
Definition
2T=m(+1/2?) x gimmel (gimmel is actually gimmel / n, and bright = + 1/2, dark = just m, minimum thickness = m = 1?)
Term
double slit interference equations and variables
Definition
mgimmel = d sin theta, m gimmel = d (x/L) m = number of slits, gimmel = wavelength, d = distance between slits, x = distance between the diffraction pattern, L is distance from slits to wall
Term
photoelectric effect
Definition
hf = h x binding frequency + kinetic energy
