What will be covered
Cover up to 10% of your marks if mandatory experiments appear in Section A. An Optics question could also appear in Section B as a long question worth a potential 14% of your marks.
Light, Reflection, Refraction, Mirrors, and Lenses are covered. A large emphasis is placed on the Mandatory Experiments in Sections A i.e. Snell’s Law, Focal Length of Concave Mirror and Convex Lens and the often-overlooked Refractive Index = Real depth/Apparent depth.
Over the 6 lessons approaches on how to answer Section B style questions, including numerical problems, definitions, demonstrations and applications of Optics are tackled.
