Last updated: March 31st, 2011
Unit 11 – Optics
Chapter 17 – Wave Optics
Chapter 18 – Ray Optics
Chapter 19 – Optical Instruments
Text
College Physics, by Randy Knight, Brian Jones, and Stuart Field, Pearson/Addison
Wesley, 1st edition, 2007.
Student Learning Objectives
 Understand the principles of the wave and ray models of light
 Understand and be able to compute properties based on interference patterns (slits and
gratings)
 Use the ray model (and be able to use ray tracing) to locate images in lenses and
mirrors.
 Understand and apply the laws of reflection and refraction.
 Use the thin lens equation to find image positions for lenses and mirrors.
 Understand how cameras, the human eye, microscopes, and telescopes work.

Homework
We are using an electronic homework system from Mastering Physics (MP). All text
based homework is to be downloaded from, solved, and the answers submitted on-line to
www.masteringphysics.com . DRS problems will also be given out in class and will need
to be turned in. Mastering Physics problem will be denoted by MP and the appropriate
day number. See the Expectations and Procedures document for penalty details on
submitting late work.
