Week 11
Read: Reflection of Light Waves (Chap. 15); Opacity, transparency, and Snell's law (Chap. 16);, Atmospheric refraction (Chap. 17),
Quiz: Monday.
Homework: Snell's law from wave refraction (ex. 16.1), Snell's law from fermat's principle (Ex. 16.2*), Spherical mirrors and the thin-lens equation (Ex. 12.7*).
Lab: Keplerian telescope lab.
