Unit 6N Notetaking Guide and Quest

The document is a note-taking guide for a lesson on spherical lenses, focusing on the application of the law of refraction and the use of ray diagrams. It covers the definitions and functions of convex and concave lenses, including their effects on light rays and image formation. Key concepts include the center of curvature, principal axis, and focal point, along with questions to reinforce understanding.

Summary: After watching the video segment, write at least three sentences explaining what you learned.
You may ask yourself: “If I was going to explain this to someone else, what would I say?”

Convex lenses are converging lenses. Concave lenses are


diverging lenses. As light rays emerge from the lens,they spread out.
