Yesterday in class students continued learning about image characteristics and what characteristics images have in a plane mirror. There are 4 characteristics that images can have and each has a different set of values. We then started to learned about curved mirrors and how they are classified. We learned about the differences between converging and diverging mirrors as well as some terminology that will be important as we study curved reflecting surfaces.
Today students wrote their heat quizzes and after the quizzes we continued on learning about curved mirrors. This started by trying to determine the image characteristics for images in curved mirrors. We will learn 2 methods for finding the characteristics. The first one they learned was a mathematical approach. We were given a new equation, the mirror equation, as well as an old one, the magnification equation. With these two equations we should be able to discover all of the characteristics for an image. We started an example and will finish it on Monday. These notes are all located on slides 26-33 in the physics notes ppt.
