Description

Chapter 18-19 Study Guide Chapter 18 Lenses Know the difference between concave and convex lenses—which are converging and which are diverging? Know how to draw ray diagrams for both concave and convex lenses with an object placed at a variety of places. As with mirrors be able to interpret the diagram. Know how to apply the thin lens equation and magnification equation to both converging and diverging lens problems. Understand the sign convention for distances. Understand what causes chromatic aberration and how it is corrected. Know the major parts of the eye, how it works and how to correct “near-sighted” and “far-sighted” vision problems with simple lenses. Of course be prepared to answer any questions on the lab, homework problems and review work sheets. Chapter 19 Know the difference between coherent and incoherent light and why coherent light gives the distinctive interference pattern it does. Know how double slit interference patterns are created and how to determine either the wavelength or band spacings using the double slit equation. Understand how thin films can create interference patterns and be able to determine the wavelength or film thickness necessary for interference to occur. Understand how a diffraction grating creates an interference pattern, and be able to quantify the spacings for a given wavelength or determine wavelength of light for given spacings....
