This Week in Physics (Feb 22-26)
Dear Parents and students,
Light is such a mysterious thing! Is a particle? Is it a wave? How does it create both a virtual and a real image? We are studying the properties and movement of light this week. Mirrors can both reflect and refract and many times distort the image they are representing because of the way light interacts with the surface of the mirror and the shape of the mirror. And the results are not always obvious! Students will have a chance to see this in class this week.
