Learning Goal: I understand...
- How are waves energy transport phenomena?
How can wave boundary behavior be used to explain absorption, reflection, and transmission of light?
How do the basic optic phenomena of reflection and refraction explain the formation of images by mirrors and lenses?
How does light interference demonstrate the wave nature of light?
Today:Bringing It Into Focus I
Given: Concave mirrors, screens, lit candles or other light sources, metersticks or commercial optic benches
Find: Design and conduct a two-part guided-inquiry investigation to achieve the following:
- Determine the focal length of a concave mirror.
- Determine two locations where a magnified image can be formed using a concave mirror.
- Include an annotated sketch of the setup, data collected, ray-tracing images, and calculations that validate the results.
- Due Fri. 3/23: Practice 23.1
- Due Mon. 4/2: Practice 23.2 AND 23.3
