pair of EM waves is commonly used for communication. radio waves and microwaves
What is the type of EM wave that can penetrate the atmosphere of the earth which is why it is
used in satellite communication? Microwave
In an infrared image of a dog, if the color of the mouth is red, what is its temperature? warm
Which region of the electromagnetic spectrum can be used in detecting fake banknotes?
Ultraviolet
NOT an application of visible light - used for thermal imaging
What electromagnetic wave can the human eye see? visible light
useful application of gamma radiation? Used to kill cancer cells.
sets of EM radiation can harm your body cells. gamma ray, ultraviolet ray, X-ray
According to the National Cancer Institute, what form of non-ionizing radiation has no
experimental evidence showing that normal levels of this radiation are dangerous to humans?
radio wave
type of radiation is linked to cataracts and skin burns but only at an extremely high level of
radiation? UV rays
line AB – incident ray
the angle of reflection - θB
If θC is equal to 50°, the value of θB 50°
As the angle between the mirrors increases, the number of images decrease.
If you are standing 1 m in front of a plane mirror, what is the distance between you and your
reflected image? 1 m
What kind of image does a plane mirror form? virtual, upright, same size
In the physics laboratory, two objects are kept on the table named A and B. Both have a
polished reflecting surface. The reflecting surface of A is curved inwards while that of B is
curved outwards. Objects A and B are most likely concave mirror and convex mirror respectively
X = principal axis, Y = radius of curvature, Z = focal point
A student wishes to obtain an upright two-fold magnification of her face in a concave mirror of a
focal length of 30 cm. At what distance in front of the mirror should her face be? between F and
V
When a small object is placed on the principal axis of a concave mirror between the focus and
the center of curvature, the image formed is inverted, magnified, and real
What kind of mirror is used in automobiles and trucks to give the driver a wider area and a
smaller image of traffic behind him? Convex mirror
When a small object is placed on the principal axis of a convex mirror, the image formed is
upright, smaller, and virtual
As the distance of an object from a converging mirror decreases, the image moves away from
the mirror and increases in size
A beam of light is incident through the holes on side A and emerges out of the hole on the other
face of the box as shown in the figure. Which of the following could be inside the box? Convex
lens
What type of lens produces smaller and upright images? Concave lens
A light ray, traveling parallel to the axis of a convex lens, strikes the lens. What happens to this
ray after traveling through the lens? It travels to the axis passing through its focal point.
An object is placed in front of a converging lens at a distance less than F. The image produced
by the lens is: virtual, upright and bigger
At what position of the object does a convex lens act as a magnifying glass? between F and 2F
A photocopy “Xerox” machine produces an image that is of equal size as the object.
Considering the location of an object in a convex lens, where is the object located or placed to
produce an image that is of equal size to the object? at 2F
optical instruments works like the human eye - camera
• In the electromagnetic wave, what is the direction of the propagation of the wave?
• How does the energy level change from gamma ray to radio wave?
• Arrange the following statements to show how a microwave oven cooks food.
I. As microwaves pass through the food, they transfer energy to the water molecules in the form
of heat.
II. The microwaves are reflected in many directions by the fan and the walls of the microwave
oven.
