4.2 optics
1. Write the statement. If it is true leave it
alone, if it is false change it to make it
true.
Optics is the study of all forms of light
and tools that use light.
A flat mirror produces an upside-down
image.
The angle formed by light striking a
mirror is always less than the angle of
reflection.

3. Refraction is the bending of light that takes
place at a boundary between two mediums.
Refraction is caused by a change in the
speed of light as it passes from one medium
to another.
4. Rainbows are caused by refraction.
The raindrops act like a prism and refract light,
then reflect light off each other.
5. A lens is a clear optical tool that refracts
light.
Different types of lenses refract light in different
ways
6. Parallellight rays pass through the lens and
are refracted outward.
Light rays closest to the edges are refracted the
most.
Light rays that pass through the center are not
refracted at all because they pass through at the
focal point
7. Parallel
light rays that pass through a
concave lens are refracted outward
Light rays closest to the edges are refracted the
most.
Light rays that pass through the center are not
refracted
Light ray are deflected away from each other
and do not meet
8. Focallength- the distance from the center
of the lens to the lens’s focal length.
