Learning Goal 2.2: I can reason and make quantitative predictions about real and virtual images formed by lenses and mirrors.
This week, we talked about convex and concave mirrors, along with real and virtual images. While I didn't fully understand the difference between real and virtual images, there were still some pretty cool things that I observed, like how a real image flips upside down beyond the focal point. We also did an activity involving a candle flame, lens, and paper board all placed on a meter stick. The flame of the candle projected an image of the flame onto the board. It was interesting to see how the clarity and size of the image changed as the lens was moved further and closer to the lens. The lens was later altered so that the flame was projected through a pinhole.
