Thin Lens Lab

DoNow: What are the ray approximations used for lenses? How are they different from the rays used for curved mirrors? What are the sign conventions used for lenses?

AIM: I can describe how to represent the relationship of focal length, object distance and image distance using the particle theory of light to create ray drawings, in equations, and a graph.

Math of Lenses

DoNow: What are the two shapes of lenses and the sign conventions of their focal length? How do they compare with curved mirrors? (notes)

AIM: I can use key vocabulary to describe the application of the optics equation previously used for mirrors to the lenses. I can identify how the sign reveals the image formed and the type of lens.

Measuring Refraction (Welcome Back!)

DoNow: How are index of refraction, optical density, apparent speed of light, wavelength and frequency of light, direction of refraction with respect to the normal related?

Think Refraction

DoNow: What are the possible outcomes of light that hits a boundary? What laws are followed? (notes)

AIM: I can use key vocabulary to describe how to apply Snell's Law to predict the quantitative direction of refracted light paths and how to set-up the special situation used to calculate the critical angle for Total Internal Reflection, TIR. I can predict the direction of refraction with respect to the normal using density, index of refraction and apparent speed of the medium.
