4/29 Physics Update and Homework due 5/6

Hi folks,

Today we spent some time looking at the ray diagrams associated with convex and concave mirrors. After that we spent the rest of the class taking a look at how color works. We took a look at additive and subtractive colors and how three colors make up all the colors that we can see.

Homework for this week is to:
Read pg. 421 - 438 in the Conceptual Physics book
Do Review Questions #'s 2 - 25

Message from Science Jim on homework for this week (4/1)

Science Jim is having computer problems so he asked me to send everyone his response to my email about this week's homework.

> Sorry about the homework for this week. My other computer has everyone's email addresses on it and at this point it's still not working right. Since i'm not sure when I'll be able to make that happen, let's just say no homework for this week.
>
> Congratulations! :)
