Light slows down in a more optically dense medium.
It determines how much light bends at a medium boundary.
They are equal when measured from the normal.
Concave mirrors converge light; convex mirrors diverge it.
The distance from the lens to the focal point where light converges.
It is the ratio of the image size to the object size.
They spread out, creating a virtual image.
Focal length is half the radius of curvature.
It is brought to a focus at the focal point.
It is the reference line for measuring angles of incidence and reflection.
n=c/v
light's velocity in a vacuum
velocity in a certain medium
c=3.00 x10^8 m/s
\(n_{1}\sin (\theta _{1})=n_{2}\sin (\theta _{2})\)
It is either reflected (bounced back) or refracted (bent and passed through)
The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, both measured from the normal
n=c/v, the ratio of light's speed in vacuum to its speed in a medium
