Physical Science 20 - April 29

Today we started to learn about curved mirrors and how they work.  Students just learned about some different terminology that we are going to use to describe curved mirrors.  This was all covered on slides 27-31.  
We then started to figure out how to draw ray diagrams for curved mirrors and how to find images in a curved mirror.  This involved drawing three separate light rays and having them reflect off of the mirror.  Students read through the instructions on how to draw the diagrams.  We only learned how to do concave mirrors today.  On Monday we will continue with convex mirrors.  The notes today were on slides 40-41 but students should have a handout called Drawing Ray Diagrams for Curved Mirrors.  The notes are all on this handout.
