What is axis of symmerty?
It is an imaginary line that produces a mirror image of a shape which is its line of symmetry
Which term indicates the imaginary line that extends straight out from from the center of a reflective surface?
The imaginary line that extends straight out from the center of a reflective surface is the optical axis.
A straight line drawn outward from the center of a lens or mirror?
Optical axis. There ya go!
What is the axis symmetry of a letter?
A line that divides the letter so that the 2 halves are mirror images. Ex. The letter V ... A vertical line thru the bottom makes 2 parts that are mirror images, so that vertical line is the axis of symmetry. But.. A Capital E would not have a vertical axis of symmetry. Capital E would have a horizontal line splitting thru the middle line as its axis of symmetry.
What is an axe of symmerty?
There is no such thing. An axis (plural = axes) of symmetry (not symmerty) for any plane figure is a line which divides the figure into two shapes that are mirror images of one another.
Is the following sentence true or false the optical axis is an imaginary line that divides a mirror?
Not sure, but I think it's true
What is an imaginary straight line drawn perpendicular to a concave mirror at its center?
The line is called the principal axis. It passes through the center of curvature and focus of the mirror.
What is the point on a concave mirror optical axis through which every light ray that travels parallel to the optical axis toward the mirror moves after being reflected?
The focus of a concave mirror is the point on its optical axis where light rays parallel to the axis converge after being reflected.
Which term indicates the imaginary line that extends straight out from the center of a reflective surface?
The term you are looking for is "normal." The normal is a line that is perpendicular to the surface of a mirror or other reflective object at the point where the incident ray strikes.
What is the difference between the optical axis and the visual axis?
The optical axis is an imaginary line that passes through the center of a lens or mirror, while the visual axis is the line connecting the fovea (center of the retina) to the object being viewed. The optical axis is used in optics to describe the path of light through a lens system, while the visual axis describes the line of sight in relation to the eye.
What is principal axis of a mirror?
The principal axis of a mirror is an imaginary line that passes through the center of curvature and the vertex of the mirror. Light rays parallel to the principal axis either converge or diverge after reflecting off the mirror.
