Topics

    • Optics
    • Lenses
    • Mirrors
    • Focal Length

Learning Goals

    • Explain how an image is formed by a converging or diverging lens or mirror using ray diagrams.
    • Determine how changing the parameters of the optic (radius of curvature, index of refraction) affects where the image is formed and how it appears (magnification, brightness, and inversion).
    • Predict where an image will be formed given the object distance and optic parameters.
