Name _____________________________ Period ____________ Date ___________________ **__ Objectives for the Mirror Test __** 1. Distinguish between the different categories of the electromagnetic spectrum. a) Know the order of the spectrum from radio waves to gamma waves (Table 14-1). b) Know which end of the spectrum is high frequency and which end of the spectrum is high wavelength. c) Given the frequency of light, calculate its wavelength. (Practice 14A). 2. Law of Reflection (page 526).  a) Describe the law or write a statement which describes it. b) Define the angle of reflection and angle of incident. c) Determine the angle of reflection and angle of incident 3. Describe and identity the 2 types of reflection (pg 526 and pg 550, # 14). 4. Given a drawing of parallel beams of light reflecting off of curved mirrors, locate the focal point and determined the focal length (Lab). 5. Describe how the 3 different types of mirrors reflect parallel beams of light (Lab). 6. Describe real and virtual images. 7. Locate images using ray diagrams for curved mirrors. 8. Use ray diagrams and/or the mirror and lens equations to determine p, q, m, image height, and/or f (pg 536, # 1, 3, and 4 and pg 540, # 1, 3 – 6). 9. Be able to describe the type and size of an image formed and the type of mirror used when given: a) the magnification (Opening question on April 29, 2010).
 * In order to be prepared for this test you must be able to: **

b) A scenario such as: A concave mirror of focal length 0.33 cm is used to create an image when the object is placed 0.15 cm from the mirror.
