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.

Nature of Light

Monday, March 23/2009

Hey guys!

We started today's class by going over Exercise 1 and Exercise 2 of the Grade 11 Physics: Nature of Light: Part 1 sheet, handed out last friday. Then we briefly looked at pages 8-10 in our Nature of Light booklets before doing a "super-fun" lab; as stated by Ms. K.

We were instructed to determine the diameter and circumference of 5-8 different lids, and then graph the data onto graph paper. We then used our results to answer the required questions. This lab should be completed and ready to hand in tomorrow! (Don't forget to label both axis and give your graph a title.)

There will most likely be a test on this unit after spring break, so make sure that you ask someone for help if don't understand something. How about Friday for the test?????

*Outstanding Concept maps are to be handed in IMMEDIATELY, if Ms.K will still accept them.

Next scribe is: whoever hasn't done it yet.I think Jon wanted to do it.
