Friday, May 24, a final experiment will be conducted. Knowledge of how to ray trace will be required before starting it (in order to measure correctly). The write-up for this will be due on June 1.

Wed, May 30 and Friday June 1, plenty of time will be given to work on the Practice Test. (Attached here as Optics Practice).

Friday, June 1: The skill of ray tracing will be quizzed in class for credit. For lenses or mirrors. All possible situations.

Final Exam day: Half the final will be the Official Optics Test. The Optics Practice test (attached here) will help a lot. The other half of the final will be a repeat of things that were on the Circuit Test

The Study Guide attached contains useful textbook entries as well. Great for practice in Optics. And yes, read the book too. Chapters 14 and 15.

The days listed above are it for the semester, so don't delay getting prepared.

I already showed how to use the book to have countless practice tests. There's an attachment as well.

Part 1 is series - very easy.

Part 2 is parallel - kinda easy.

Part 3 is very very easy.

Part 4 is called Great Circuit Solving Packet. Its complexity requires the other three.

Students were instructed to come here to access the assigned tasks. It's in the word attachment. Self-explanatory

The file called PhET Circuit to Load can't be opened directly on your home computer. If you'd like to try to use it, you have to first download this file and store it somewhere on your computer. Then you go into the PhET simulator and from there, select LOAD. It will then engage your computer browser, and you can find the special file wherever you put it on your computer. This is optional though, and the instructions will make it clear why. Follow the Word file's directions.

1. infrared, visible, uv, x-ray, gamma

2. sound, seismic

3. increases - we didn't cover this yet. Not on test. It's refraction

4. refraction - it is actually fair to ask what refraction is. But not the increase/decrease part

5. matter, energy

6. orange or red

7. Doppler Effect

8. B

9. 1250 m/s for both answers

10. A

11. 5.45 times ten to the 14th power

12. violet

13. infrared

14. transverse The word "transversal" is wrong.

15. 5,000 m/s

16. A) 1.2 m, B) 72 m/s, C) 72 m/s, D) 0.45 m, E) 160 Hz

17. The following answers used 340 m/s as the speed of sound:

A) 170 Hz, B) 340 Hz, C) 1.5 m, D) 1 m
