Activity 1 Determine the Focal Distance of a Concave Mirror

You will determine the focal distance of a spherical mirror in two different ways and compare your results (they should be equal if everything is correct).

Setup 1 Parallel beam will go through the focus of a mirror

Select a Circular Arc from the Mirrors menu and set up a spherical mirror on the screen.

Select a beam of rays and let them be parallel to the mirror’s main axis. They will be reflected through one point, the focus.

Using the ruler, measure the focal distance (in pixels) from the mirror to where the beam is reflected in the focus.

Note. Remember to save your pictures (screenshots) for your lab submission!

Setup 2 The Mirror Equation

We’ll use the mirror equation to determine f here

Reset the simulation (clear up screen).

Select a circular arc from the mirror menu and create a concave spherical mirror out of it.

Select a point source from the simulation and place it on the screen in front of a spherical mirror. The rays emerging from the object will eventually cross at another point after reflection – that is the location of the image.

Using the ruler, determine and

Using the Mirror equation, calculate the focal distance .

Results

Are the values from Setup1 and Setup2 equal to each other?

____________

Percent Difference:

_______________

Activity 2The Focal Distance of a Converging Lens

The Lens equation has an identical form as the Mirror Equation. The difference here is that the negative distances are those that appear in front of the lens and not behind.

Reset to clear up the simulation and select an ideal lens from the Glass menu.

Move the focal distance slider left and right to set up the focal distance to be 200 pixels.

Select a point source and place it a distance from the lens. The rays from the point source will refract through the lens and intersect again at the image location.

Use the ruler to determine and

Calculate the focal distance using the equation and compare it with the 200 that you set up in the beginning of the activity.

Results

Are the values from Setup1 and Setup2 equal to each other?

____________

__200_________

Percent Difference:

_______________

Activity 3 Focal Distance of Diverging Lens

Clear up the simulation and set up an ideal lens from the glass menu. Move the lens focal distance slider to -200. Now you have a diverging lens.

Place a point source in front of the lens and measure and with the ruler.

Use the mirror equation to determine .

Remember to use the value of as a negative number because the image is on the “wrong” side of the lens.

With titles for each slide as well as bulleted sections to group relevant information as required, the content is well-organized. Excellent use of typeface, color, images, effects, and so on to improve readability and presenting content. The minimum length criterion of 10 slides/pages is reached.

Average Score

50-85%

40-38 points

More depth/information is required for the context and importance, otherwise the study detail will be unclear. There is no search history information supplied.

83-76 points

There is a review of important theoretical literature, however there is limited integration of research into problem-related ideas. The review is just partly focused and arranged. There is research that both supports and opposes. A summary of the material given is provided. The conclusion may or may not include a biblical integration.

52-49 points

The content is somewhat ordered, but there is no discernible organization. The use of typeface, color, graphics, effects, and so on may sometimes distract from the presenting substance. It is possible that the length criteria will not be reached.

Poor Quality

0-45%

37-1 points

The context and/or importance are lacking. There is no search history information supplied.

75-1 points

There has been an examination of relevant theoretical literature, but still no research concerning problem-related concepts has been synthesized. The review is just somewhat focused and organized. The provided overview of content does not include any supporting or opposing research. The conclusion has no scriptural references.

48-1 points

There is no logical or apparent organizational structure. There is no discernible logical sequence. The use of typeface, color, graphics, effects, and so on often detracts from the presenting substance. It is possible that the length criteria will not be reached.
