Students learn two rules of reflection as it has to do with convex mirrors. These two rules will greatly simplify the task of determining the image locations for objects placed in front of convex mirrors.

Students explore three different ray diagrams for objects positioned at different locations along the principal axis in a convex mirror.

While a ray diagram may help one determine the approximate location and size of the image, it will not provide numerical information about image distance and image size. To obtain this, students are introduced to the Mirror Equation and...

Students discover the four parts of the eye are the most instrumental in the task of producing images that are discernible by the brain.

A brief introduction to the physics side of farsightedness, and how lenses correct this vision defect.

A brief introduction to the physics side of nearsightedness, and how lenses correct this vision defect.

Through an animated illustration of a dot diagram and time graphs, students learn about constant positive velocity.

Through an animated illustration of a dot diagram and time graphs, students learn about constant negative velocity.

This animation depicts two cars, one passing the other, and the animated position-time graph that represents them is shown.

An animated velocity-time graph demonstrates the motion of two cars where one is passing the other.

Observe the motion of two cars taking off at a stoplight, and make meaning of the accompanying graphs to answer some motion questions.

Observe the motion of the two-stage rocket and the corresponding, animated velocity-time graph in these illustrations.

Through a short informational reading piece and an animated visual, students learn that vectors represent both magnitude and direction.

The interference of two sets of circular waves with the same frequency and the same amplitude results in a standing wave pattern. These standing wave patterns are known as two-point source interference patterns since they result from the...

Ray diagrams are useful tools for determining the location of an image as produced by a concave mirror. All concave and convex mirror ray diagrams can be constructed from knowledge of the behavior of two rays. Learn here about ray diagrams.

Ray diagrams are useful tools for determining the location of an image as produced by a concave mirror. Of all the rays which emanate from the top of the object arrow and are incident to the mirror, there are two rays whose behavior at...

This animation depicts the path of light to each person's eye. Different people are sighting in different directions; yet each person is sighting at the same image location. In this animation the image location is the intersection point...

A reference page that explores how an image is formed in a concave mirror. Page includes a ray diagram that shows the geometrical lines of sight.

This tutorial offers an animation depicting the induction charging of an electrophorus plate by the process of induction. Animation depicts the movement of electrons between plat and ground. The animation is accompanied by explanations...

This review from the Glenbrook South High School provides a series of questions on various topics associated with static electricity (such as electrical insulation). Answers and explanations are hidden, yet easily accessed from within a...
