How it looks

A real board, not a video.

This board is from a different Science lesson — yours will look like this. She writes and draws while she explains, and stops to check you followed.

Doubts this lesson clears up

  • Why do we measure angles from the normal and not from the mirror surface itself?
  • What's the difference between a real image and a virtual image? Can I put a screen in front of one?
  • Why is focal length half the radius of curvature? Why f = R/2?
  • Does light actually slow down in water, or does something else happen?
  • Why does a convex mirror show a wider view than a plane mirror?
  • What does the power of a lens mean, and why do doctors use dioptres for glasses?
