Learning Goals for Optics

Rate how well you have obtained the goal after each lesson.
☒☐☐ I have read the goal but I don’t yet understand it, or I don’t yet see how it connects to the lesson.
☒☐ I understand what I should be able to do, but I’m not there yet.
☒☒ I can do this.

☐☐☐ I will be able to describe my current understanding of light.

☐☐☐ I will be able to safely handle and dispose of biological materials and explain the function of
parts of the eye.
☐☐☐ I will be able to identify and label the electromagnetic spectrum and identify the colours that
make up white light.
☐☐☐ I will be able to predict the colour resulting from various mixtures of the primary colours of
light (red, blue, and green).
☐☐☐ I will be able to predict the colour resulting from the mixture of primary pigments (cyan,
yellow, magenta)
☐☐☐ I will be able to identify the different sources of light and how it is generated.
☐☐☐ I will be able to describe how light interacts with matter and define the relevant terms.
☐☐☐ I will be able to use a variety of mirrors to direct light in a complex path to make a useful
optical device.
☐☐☐ I will be able to describe how light reflects from smooth and rough surfaces and define the
related terms.
☐☐☐ I will be able to describe how images are formed from light travelling in straight lines.
☐☐☐ I will be able to describe the properties of images in plane mirrors and explain how they form.
☐☐☐ I will be able to draw an accurate ray diagram for a curved mirror.
☐☐☐ I will be able to predict the characteristics of images (Size Attitude Location Type) in convex
mirrors using ray diagrams and equations.
☐☐☐ I will be able to the right words to describe how light is refracted at the boundary between two
transparent materials.
☐☐☐ I will be able to apply Snell’s law to solve refraction problems and explain refraction
phenomenon.
☐☐☐ I will be able to draw a ray diagram to show how light interacts when refracted through
different media.
☐☐☐ I will be able to describe several different optical effects such as mirages and rainbows.
☐☐☐ I will be able to describe different kinds of lenses and the kinds of images they form.
☐☐☐ I will be able to measure and record image positions of a candle placed at various distances
from a converging lens.
☐☐☐ I will be able to draw accurate ray diagrams and use them to predict the characteristics (SALT)
of images formed by converging and diverging lenses.
☐☐☐ I will be able to describe several defects of vision, and know what kind of lens can be used to
correct particular defects.
☐☐☐ I will be able to describe the impacts of the microscope, telescope, and camera on society.
