Physics 30 for Tuesday!

Hello Class, today we are looking at reflection and refraction.

1.  Have a look at the notes on Reflection here.  Only go over the first 3 pages of the notes, do not look at curved mirrors yet.

2.  Now that you have done that, have a look at the practice questions on the handout that is on the teacher desk.

3.  Work on this for part of the first class or move on to the next topic.

4.  For the second class or when they want to move on, look at the notes on Refraction here.  This is a new concept.  The math is relatively easy, just remember that then values or indexes of refraction are numbered opposite everything else.

5.  Now that you have done that, have a look at the practice questions on the second handout that is on the teacher desk.

6.  Work on these questions for the remainder of the classes.

Extras

here is an excellent simulation that looks at both reflection and refraction of light.  

here is a Veritasium video that talks about light as an EM wave, reflection and colour
