Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around finding books that contain questions on geometric optics, specifically focusing on problems related to locating the position of mirrors using ray diagrams when only the object and image are provided. The scope includes recommendations for additional resources beyond a known book.
Discussion Character
- Homework-related, Exploratory
Main Points Raised
- One participant seeks recommendations for books with geometric optics questions, particularly for mirror positioning using ray diagrams.
- Another participant suggests S.S. Krotov's "Aptitude Test Problems in Physics" as a potential resource.
- A participant expresses difficulty in finding a paperback version of the suggested book and considers downloading it instead.
- One participant notes that Krotov's book contains only 20 questions in the optics chapter, expressing disappointment in the limited quantity despite finding the questions challenging.
- Another suggestion is made for "Advanced School Physics" by Cengage, specifically part 2 for optics.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally agree on the need for additional resources for geometric optics questions, but there is no consensus on the best book, and some express disappointment regarding the quantity of questions available in the suggested texts.
