Learning Goal 2.1- I can describe the phenomena of reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light with the ray model of optics.
This week, we began a new unit: ray optics. Our first activity was the gold rush worksheet, where we tried to find the fastest route between 2 points. My group found that in this case, a straight line would not be the fastest way between the points because of the 2 different terrains. After finding the fastest time, we then applied the same concept with a real model of an acrylic and light ray. I've struggled a bit with understanding Snell's Law, but I think Friday's worksheet somewhat helped.
