In the week ending 2/8 we covered more on refraction. We went over total internal reflection (which has many interesting applications in fiber optics and medical devices) and then we began to study mirrors. The mirrors we studied included Plane, Concave, and Convex mirrors. We practiced understanding the images formed by mirrors using two methods; 1) Ray diagrams, and 2) the mirror and magnification equations. Finally at the end of the week we were ready to start the study of lenses.
On the week ending 2/15 (a shortened week) the students had plenty of time to practice lens ray diagrams. they participated in a Lens Lab, and then we briefly covered pigments, and discussed Young's Double Slit Experiment and its impacts on what we currently know.
The review for this Unit is posted on Mr. Heier's Website which is: http://gcps-philheier.onmycalendar.com/?PK=A7T74181S6517P&IK=A4S12875S5Q95K
If you understand everything covered in the review, you should be in good shape for the test.
Upcoming test dates:
2/12 Light and Optics Test
