17. Define and find the focal point for a concave and convex mirror.
18. Draw a ray diagram for an object produced by a concave or convex mirror, locate its image
location/orientation, and determine whether the image it produces is real or virtual.
19. Draw a ray diagram for an object produced by a concave or convex lens, locate its image
location/orientation, and determine whether the image it produces is real or virtual.
20. Given the mirror equation: 1/f = 1/d i + 1/d o , where f = focal length, d o = object distance, d i = image
distance, solve for any variable given the other two.
21. Given the lens equation: 1/f = 1/d i + 1/d o , where f = focal length, d o = object distance, d i = image
distance, solve for any variable given the other two.
22. Know that the wave speed of ANY electromagnetic wave in a vacuum is the same (i.e. 3.0 x 10 8
[m/s] or 186,000 [mi/s]).
23. State the difference between color mixing and color subtraction with respect to light and pigments
(paint) and explain whether a certain visible color is produced via color addition or color subtraction.
24. Draw a ray diagrams for a reflector and refractor telescopes and be able to qualitatively explain their
operation.
25. Draw a ray diagram for a microscope and be able to qualitatively explain its operation.
