Hey guys,

In today's class we read pages 12-16 and filled in the supporting and counter argument columns on the wave model of light hand-out. We then answered questions 9-12 in The Nature of Light: Part 2 booklet. The answers to these questions and the previous sheet have been uploaded to the blog. Next, we read the information on Young's experiment starting on page 17 to page 20. For the remainder of class we worked on questions 1&2 on the Young's Experiment Problems sheet given to us today. These questions are due tomorrow!

I think I might have screwed up the order in which we did things. I apologize! I have a terrible memory. However, I am positive that this was all we did. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

**Our test on this unit will be on Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Wave Theory of Light

Today in physics we corrected our test from last unit and all the answers should be or are on the blog.  Afterward, we were given a worksheet, which was a chart for evaluating the models of light.  If you don't have the sheet yet, you should get it right away from Mrs. Kozoriz.  So on the sheet we learned the meanings of:
rectilinear propagation: travel in straight lines
reflection: just look into a mirror
refraction: the bending of a particle entering a new medium
dispersion: light is refracted to form colours of the spectrum
diffraction: the bending of a wave around a barrier or through an opening
partial reflection/refraction
And speed of light .. again.
For each of these phenomenon we came up with supporting arguments and counter-arguments.  All of this information should be on the blogger as well.
Lastly, we were given the Part 2 Wave and Particle Models of Light Problems booklet.  We were assigned to do questions 1, 3 and 4.  They shouldn't be that difficult .. i think.  And that's pretty much it!  :D

Scribe for Monday is Jenn

Nature of Light Part 2

Today in class we read pages 2 - 7 on our new booklet, called "Nature of Light: Part 2 The Wave and Particle Models of Light" Ms. K gave us a worksheet to work on, about the four theories of Light or something like that. Answers are below, this rather short post of mine. 

The next scribe? I don't know, whoever didn't do it yet I guess.
