Unit 2 – Optics Review
Test date: Thursday, November 25, 2010
Chapter 11 Summary – see page 481 for a summary of key concepts (11.1, 11.2, 11.3)
Chapter 11 Review Questions – good questions to work on to prepare for the test!
p. 482 – 483 #1-6, 8-15, 17, 23, 25
Chapter 12 Summary – see page 517 for a summary of key concepts (12.1, 12.2, 12.3)
Chapter 12 Review Questions – good questions to work on to prepare for the test!
p.518 – 510 #1-8, 10-16, 18, 21, 24-26
More topics/concepts to review (for both short answer and multiple choice):
· Index of refraction – what it is and how to find it
· n=c/v (know how to use the formula to find n or v)
· converging lens – calculating the image distance, image height, drawing a ray diagram and identifying SALT
· magnifying glass – drawing a ray diagram and identifying SALT
· diverging lens – drawing a ray diagram and identifying SALT
· be able to explain a optical technology that uses partial and/or total internal reflection (be able to provide a drawing/diagram as well)
o examples: rearview mirrors, binoculars, retroreflectors, fibre optic cables
· drawing ray diagrams to show how an image forms in an optical device - all points must be present on the ray diagram and identify SALT
o examples: camera (film or digital), movie projector, refracting telescope, microscope
· describe how a vision disorder occurs using a diagram and be able to describe how corrective lenses help the problem (myopia, hyperopia)
· refracted rays and how they behave relative to the normal depending on what medium the rays travel through (when does a refracted ray refract towards the normal and away from the normal?)
· critical angle – definition
· what happens to light rays that have an angle of incidence greater than critical angle
· definitions of:
o shimmering
o mirages
o sundogs
o dispersion
o total internal reflection
o apparent depth
o formation of rainbows
o retina
o cornea
o lens
o iris
o myopia
o hyperopia
o astigmatism
