I can compare the additive color process to the subtractive color process. 6B: I can use ray diagrams to describe how light reflects off of a mirror. I can illustrate the law of reflection in a ray diagram. I can differentiate the characteristics of real and virtual images. I can draw ray diagrams for both concave and convex mirrors and predict if those images will be real or virtual. 6C: I can describe how light refracts through a lens. I can predict how the curve of a lens will affect the angle of refraction. I can locate and use the focal length of a lens. I can use ray diagrams for both converging and diverging lenses to predict the location of images. I can describe an image based on magnification of a lens.
