Thin Lens Equation – What’s plus, what’s minus?

Posted on August 19, 2013 by Barry • Posted in Physics, Waves • Tagged geometric optics, lens, x^-1 button •

(video) Any of the three quantities in the Thin Lens Equation can be either positive or negative, and remembering which is which is not so easy. But if you have a basic understanding of how lenses work, you can deduce what’s positive and negative… Continue reading →

Work & Energy – The Big Picture

Posted on August 19, 2013 by Barry • Posted in Mechanics, Physics • Tagged energy, kinetic energy, work •

(video) Here are three different ways to use work and energy to solve physics problems. If you’ve been studying this stuff for a while, you may find that this is what you need to put all the pieces together. Continue reading →
