Properties of Traveling Waves Properties of Standing Waves Doppler Effect and Superposition Interference and Diffraction Dispersion of Light and the Electromagnetic Spectrum Reflection and Refraction Mirrors Lab Experiment Lenses This lab includes objectives, materials, background theory, analysis, and questions.   Lenses Lecture Notes and Tutorials Notes from PhysicsLAB by Catherine H. Colwell These notes contain detailed explanations of background material, annotated diagrams and illustrations, and solved examples.   Diverging Lenses   Thin Lens Equation   Double Lens Systems   Lens Maker's Equation   Lenses Review Simulations Physics Simulation Library Each simulation includes an audio introduction and general directions. These simulations are very well designed, and each experiment gives the opportunity to change the parameters, collect data, and interpret various graphs. The Mirrors and Lenses simulation is included.   Physics Simulation Library Explorations Molecular Expressions from Florida State University These Java tutorials from Florida State University include detailed explanations with excellent interactive simulations.   Ray Diagrams Construction   Introduction to Lenses Tutorial   Image Formation by Diverging Lenses   Image Formation by Converging Lenses Multimedia Physics Studio A set of nine multimedia animations show how reflection and refraction principles govern the formation of images by mirrors and lenses. Each animation includes a brief tutorial and interactive exercises.   Multimedia Physics Studio See also...
