This activity will allow students to see light bending. The students will be able to calculate the amount of bend or refraction that occurs with various mediums.
This is a comprehensive science textbook for Grade 10. You can download or read it on-line on your mobile phone, computer or iPad. Every chapter comes with video lessons and explanations which help bring the ideas and concepts to life. Summary presentations at the end of every chapter offer an overview of the content covered, with key points highlighted for easy revision. Topics covered are: atomic combinations, energy and bonding, intermolecular forces, solutions and solubility, atomic nuclei, thermal properties and ideal gases, quantitative aspects of chemical change, energy changes in chemical reactions, types of reactions, the lithosphere, the atmosphere, vectors, force, momentum, impulse, geometrical optics, lenses, telescopes, microscopes, human eye, longitudinal waves, sound, sound waves, physics of music, electrostatics, electromagnetism, electric circuits, electronic properties of matter, conduction. This book is based upon the original Free High School Science Text series.
This book covers the following topics: The Method of Stationary Phase; Morse's Lemma and Some Generalizations; Differential Operators and Asymptotic Solutions; Geometrical Optics; Symplectic Geometry; Geometric Quantization; Geometric Aspects of Distribution; The Plancherel Formula for the Complex Semi-Simple Lie Groups; Compound Asymptotics; Various Functorial Constructions.
This activity is a laboratory investigation where students observe images produced by concave and convex lenses, and how light travels through the lenses.
This course provides an introduction to optical science with elementary engineering applications. Topics covered in geometrical optics include: ray-tracing, aberrations, lens design, apertures and stops, radiometry and photometry. Topics covered in wave optics include: basic electrodynamics, polarization, interference, wave-guiding, Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction, image formation, resolution, space-bandwidth product. Analytical and numerical tools used in optical design are emphasized. Graduate students are required to complete assignments with stronger analytical content, and an advanced design project.
This is the second part (chapters 13-24) of a pdf textbook for a one-year introductory physics course. The text was developed out of an alternate beginning physics course at New Mexico Tech designed for students with a strong interest in physics. A broad outline of the text is as follows: Newton's Law of Gravitation; Forces in Relativity; Electromagnetic Forces; Generation of Electromagnetic Fields; Capacitors, Inductors, and Resistors; Measuring the Very Small; Atoms; The Standard Mode; Atomic Nuclei; Heat, Temperature, and Friction; Entropy, The Ideal Gas and Heat Engines.
Students will explore reflection using hand mirrors and a laser pointer in this competitive activity.
The EJS Thick Lens model allows the user to simulate a lens (mirror) by adjusting the physical properties of a transparent (reflecting) object and observing the object's effect on a beam of light. The user can adjust the concavity of the sides, the index of refraction and its environment, and the height and width of the object as well as the size of the incident light and the horizontal position of the transparent object. Spherical aberration can be observed at large angles. You can examine and modify this simulation if you have EJS installed by right-clicking within the plot and selecting "Open EJS Model" from the pop-up menu item.
