Learning Goals:
As you work through this unit, you should be able to understand these Big Ideas:
- 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?

- Optics Summative Test
Assignment:
Use the “Isotopes and Atomic Mass” (desktop only) and ”Build an Atom” (mobile or desktop) simulations to review basic concepts about atomic number, mass number, and isotopes. Be prepared for a class discussion over the following questions:
- In an atom, how will the addition or subtraction of a proton, neutron, or electron change the element, the charge, and the mass?
- How can the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom help one draw a model of the atom, identify the element, and determine the mass and charge?
- Is the chance of finding one isotope of an element the same for all isotopes of that element?
