• You may use your notes to complete the test it should be done in one attempt.
• You may discuss concepts but not questions on the tests.
• Ex. How do you do # 3? (Bad)
• Ex. What are the units of mass and weight? ( good)

Notes
Simulations
Ray Diagram WS Mirrors and Lenses
Draw all ray Diagrams

Objectives

After studying the material of this chapter, the student should be able to:
1. Identify the major components of a simple camera and explain how these components combine to produce a clear image.
2. Identify the major components of the human eye and explain how an image is formed on the retina of the eye.
3. Explain the causes of myopia and hyperopia, describe how these conditions may be corrected, and solve word problems related to corrective lenses for these conditions.
4. Explain how a magnifying glass can be used to produce an enlarged image and solve word problems involving the magnifying glass.
5. Explain how two convex lenses can be arranged in order to form an astronomical telescope and solve word problems related to this type of telescope.
6. Explain the operation of the Newtonian focus telescope, Cassegrainian focus telescope, and Galilean type telescope.
7. Explain how two convex lenses can be arranged in order to form a compound microscope and solve word problems related to this type of microscope.
8. Distinguish between spherical aberration and chromatic aberration and explain how each type of aberration can be corrected.
9. Describe the factors which affect resolution of an image and limit the effective magnification of a telescope or microscope.
10. Explain how the phenomena of x ray diffraction can be used either to determine the distance between the atoms of a crystal or the wavelength of the incident x rays. Use the Bragg equation to solve word problems involving x ray diffraction.

HP Period 9 Work Energy

Objectives

After studying the material of this chapter, you should be able to:
1. Distinguish between work in the scientific sense as compared to the colloquial sense. 

2. Write the definition of work in terms of force and displacement and calculate the work done by a 
constant force when the force and displacement vectors are at an angle. 

3. Use graphical analysis to calculate the work done by a force that varies in magnitude. 

4. Define each type of mechanical energy and give examples of types of energy that are not mechanical. 

5. State the work energy theorem and apply the theorem to solve problems. 

6. Distinguish between a conservative and a nonconservative force and give examples of each type of force. 

7. State the law of conservation of energy and apply the law to problems involving mechanical energy. 

8. Define power in the scientific sense and solve problems involving work and power. 



Assignment 

Video Analysis Work, Energy & Power

AP Physics Snells Like Physics

Use your tank and the magnets to prove/explain snell's laws
Materials:

• tank
• clear liquid
• 4 magnets(do not lose)
• 2 Pencils
• Ruler  
• Polar Graph Paper
•  

Video
This video shows the general idea if you have a laser level you can use it in place of the objects. 


Instructions

1. Fill Tank
2. place magnet @ center of front and rear face
3. Tank so axis perpendicular to tank is 0 degrees
4. Place a pencil on the paper behind the tank (curved part) and mark its position on the paper
5. Look through the front of of the tank @ tank level.  Close one eye.
6. Align the rear magnet so that 
• the front magnet the rear magnet and the image of the pecil are lined up
• this means that the front object should block the image of the one behind it.
7. Take your second pencil and place it so it also lines up.  Mark it on the paper
8. Repeat for 5 other trials.  Making a table of angles of incidence and refraction.

*Bonus is there an angle at which you can no longer see the pencil through the tank?  If so record it.

Newton's Laws

Video: Newton's Dark Secrets  

Take notes put in notebook call it S2.

 

Objectives

After studying the material of this chapter, you should be able to:
1. State Newton's three laws of motion and give examples that illustrate each law.
2. Explain what is meant by the term net force.
3. Use the methods of vector algebra to determine the net force acting on an object.
4. Define each of the following terms: mass, inertia, weight and distinguish between mass and weight.
5. Identify the SI units for force, mass, and acceleration.
6. Draw an accurate free body diagram locating each of the forces acting on an object or a system of objects.
7. Use free body diagrams and Newton's laws of motion to solve word problems.
