we started class on Wednesday by thinking of different applications or curved mirrors
some examples are your right handed side mirror on your car, your head lights, flash lights and a disco ball
we also looked at two different types of telescopes
1 -light from distant stars enter the telescope tube in parallel rays
-these rays are reflected from a concave mirror to a diagonal plane mirror
-the diagonal plane mirror reflects the light to the eye piece which then focuses the light
-the diagonal plane mirror reflects the light to the eye piece which then focuses the light
-the larger the diameter of the mirror the brighter the light at the focus new telescopes can have diameters of up to 6m
2.cassegrain reflection telescope
-light rays reflect off a con crave mirror to a perpendicular plane mirror
-rays from the plane mirror proceed to and eye piece at the front which focuses the light.
the next person to write the blog post for today will be decided by the person who is wearing the most blue
