Refraction and apparent depth

Laboratory ten was trimmed to focus only on the apparent depth of an object below the surface of the water. This modification was made in part because the lens lecture was dropped in favor of an additional class session on waves during the lecture period. Having done an analysis of a RipStik swizzle sine curve yesterday, today I reinforced the concepts today using a light weight chain to cover the material in section 091.

This summer the class is not using the A204 computer laboratory. I required students to bring a scientific calculator to class. To my pleasant surprise some of the students are arriving in class with lap top computers. Lilly-Rose sets up a graph of the data while Donna and Neymi look on.

Randy enters his data into his lap top while Maureen looks on.
