Complete: Oral Presentations - Lab 10:1 Ray Optics - Mirrors

Review: HW 10:1 #11-21 Ray Optics - Mirrors

Introduce: The differences between mirrors and lenses.

• Lens Maker's formula 1/f=[n₂-n₁]∙(1/r₁+1/r₂)

• spherical & Chromatic aberration

Demonstrate: Image formation using lenses - Chromatic Aberration

Relate: And compare mirrors to lenses

Announce: Quiz 10:1 Ray Optics - Mirrors for Wednesday

Assign: HW 10:2 #1-11 Ray Optics - Lenses
 

Proficiencies addressed:

30. Demonstrate an understanding of ray optics in both lenses and mirrors including; (CCCS #5.7)

a. the qualitative determination of the position of real and virtual images through ray diagrams.

b. the quantitative prediction of the position and magnification of real and virtual images.

c. determining the focal lengths of mirrors and lenses [through the lens maker's formula].

12. Demonstrate an understanding of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity and its application to real world problems. (CCCS # 5.7)
