Physics 11 Optic Device Project

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a project for a Physics 11 class, where participants are tasked with creating an optical device utilizing knowledge of concave and convex mirrors and lenses. The original poster expresses time constraints and seeks ideas or resources for the project, which is due soon.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore the idea of creating a telescope as a potential project, questioning whether it is too trivial for the course. There is also discussion about the depth of explanation required for the project and the advantages of different types of telescopes.

Discussion Status

The conversation is ongoing, with participants sharing thoughts on the feasibility of a telescope project and the availability of information on the topic. Some guidance is offered regarding the advantages and disadvantages of reflecting versus refracting telescopes, though no consensus has been reached on the best approach.

Contextual Notes

The original poster has indicated a lack of time due to other coursework, which may influence the depth of their project. There is an implied need for a project that balances complexity with the available time for completion.

I have this project for Physics 11, we have to make some sort of optic device using our knowledge of concave/convec mirrors and lens. We have to make it and briefly describe and ****, it's due on friday and i haven't gotten anything. I was wondering if you guys know any good ideas or have a good website, cause I have to study for another course and can't spent much time on this project. I understand optics pretty decently, i got the highest mark in my class 89% on the unit test but I just do'nt have time.

is telescope too trivial for this course?
 
Not if I make it proper and explain it well.
 
well telescopes, you can find a lot of info about.

do one of them, then you can tell what is the advantages and disadvantages of each and also why reflecting telescopes are better then refracting.
