Sorry, this is going to be quick because, at first I thought the blog was optional but it ends up being an assignment on Monday, so here it goes.
This week we mainly focused on reviewing for the test and adding to our vast knowledge of refraction. When reviewing for the test, we got this study guide. At first, many were confused on what to do, but we soon learned that we were supposed to review in any helpful way. For example, we could use flash cards or take more notes in a notebook or on separate paper.
We also learned what would happen if we shone a laser pointer at a triangular, transparent prism. Using the knowledge we collected over the course of the last few weeks (mainly thanks to my blogs :) ) and after some extra work for new information needed to complete the study guide, we were able to predict what would happen. When the light entered and exited the transparent prism. The light refracted and reflected multiple times. We observed this while drawing a ray-diagram as a class for our prediction of what would happen. We haven't done the experiment yet so I can't tell you the result yet. If confused, click on the hyperlink. Yes, keep guessing and hope that the suspense doesn't kill you!!!
It is important to know about refraction because refraction takes place everyday. Refraction is applied in rear view mirrors, microscopes, telescopes, and glass lens. Also, refraction is important to know, because it was on like half the test. Now, with the vital information that you have gathered, you can live peacefully knowing what went on last week and how refraction and reflection is a part of our every day life. Enjoy!
