Today in Honors Physics we learned about 3D vision and interference. We didn’t have any homework to check over or to turn in, but it would have been wise to start working on the Physics of Bling. Before we got into our notes, we had a contest to see who creped on Amalea the most. Nathan won by a landslide stating that he saw Amalea getting into bed last night, Mr. Ebersole expresses how awkward that was, and decided we needed to move on. Our notes were titled Polarization and 3D Viewing. Within these notes, we learned about polarization, common light sources, polarized filters, a filter's effect on light intensity, depth vision, and different objects that were affected by polarized filters such as 3D glasses, View Masters, and 3D movies. During this presentation, we learned how the 3D glasses at Rave work. The glasses have two polarized filters: one with a vertical component and the other with a horizontal component. Having these two filters allow us to filter the vibrations of light to travel through allowing us a different image for each eye.  If you weren’t in class, you’ll need to email Mrs. Coats-Haan to obtain a copy of these. Once we got through out notes, we had the rest of class to work on the Polarization Practice Sheet within pages 209-212 of our lab manual. If we didn’t finish these questions, we had to finish them for homework and turn them in tomorrow. We also have two other homework assignments which are due on Monday: The Physics of Bling and Diffraction and Interference Reading Questions. We’ll also have our study guide for the light test (Wednesday) given to us tomorrow so we can start working on them tomorrow. Remember, stay classy!
