we practiced ray tracing and image sizes and locations
objects at various distances from convex lenses (the latter sections of chapter 35 |
no class |
questions to think about: on tuesday we found that there were practical uses (lighthouse beams; searchlights) of putting an object at the focus point of a lens, even though no image is ever formed... a) what are 2 practical examples from everyday life of putting a light at the focus point of a mirror? b) in drawing the diagrams we did the past two class days, how did we treat the behavior of light, as a particle or as a wave? c) why are all major research telescopes made with mirrors rather than with lenses? |

before class, except on Wednesday |
it would be great if you could look at 36(4) and 37(2), as we will look at evidence that light is a wave today |
