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)
