5/3 Physics class and homework due 5/10

Hi folks,

Today we spent a bit of time really trying to fully understand these lenses and ray diagrams. We also worked with the behavior of convex and concave mirrors and learned how to draw ray diagrams for them.

Homework for next week is to:

1. Draw a ray diagram for a convex mirror. Put the location of the object farther than the focal point.


2. Draw a ray diagram for a concave mirror. Put the location of the object between the focal point and the mirror.


3. Draw a ray diagram for a concave mirror. Put the location of the object farther than the focal point.


4. Draw a ray diagram for a concave lens. Put the location of the object where ever you'd like.


5. If you haven't already done this  Draw 5 ray diagrams for a convex lens. For each diagram, move the location of the object.  Do at least two diagrams with the object between the focal point and the lens and at least 2 with the object beyond the focal point.  Please use a ruler to create your rays.

Once you do these, I HIGHLY recommend doing some of these a second time before next Wednesday.  There will be a quiz on all of these so please try to master this.
