Essential Question   

What happens when light strikes an object?

How do convex and concave lenses form images?

Warm up

An object more than one focal length away from a concave mirror forms a upside-down real image.  

An object “LESS” than 1 focal length way from a concave mirror forms a right-side-up virtual image.   

Chapter 23 - presentation. – high light important facts from hand out.

Standards 

S8P4.b

Describe how the behavior of light waves is manipulated causing reflection, refraction diffraction, and absorption.
S8P4.c

Explain how the human eye sees objects and colors in terms of wave-lengths.
S8P4.d

Describe how the behavior of waves is affected by medium (such as air, water, solids).

 

Essential Question   

How do waves of energy produce light and sound?

Warm up-

What is the difference between  Regular Reflection versus Diffuse Reflection.

 

Regular Reflection –Lights beams are reflected at the same angle.

 

Diffuse Reflection Light beams reflect at many different angles.
