Physics 112 Started the section on mirrors (mirror_notes.pdf) by looking at how they differ conceptually from lenses. Start working through the mirror problems (mirror_problems.pdf). Check out the helpful online mirrors simulation: Once loaded, place the mouse over Applet Menu - then Optics - and finally Spherical Mirrors and Lenses - http://surendranath.tripod.com/Applets.html Physics 122 Notes and examples about problems with multiple masses. This week we will be working with the textbook: Read pages 478 - 489. Problems pg 485 #s 19 - 23, pg 488 #s 24 - 28. Comp Sci 110 Start reading through the Unit 13 notes (we skipped unit 12). Do the if...then practice on page six of the notes. When finished reading the notes start the unit 13 assignment (unit_13_assignment.pdf).

Physics 112 Work period for the Lens Maker's formula (lens_makers_formula_example.pdf). We will complete the examples tomorrow. Here is the link the the Phet simulation we used in class that incorporates the curvature of the lens and its refractive index. http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/geometric-optics Physics 122 Physics labs using the Wii Remote to collect data. Don't forget that I need a table of data that summarizes each lab and the answers to the analysis questions. We will continue in the labs for the rest of this week. Next week we will cover the Atwood machine and get into torque by Friday. Comp Sci 110 Finish Unit 11 assignment and start into Unit 12 notes. unit_11_assignment.pdf unit_11_questions.pdf
