AP Physics B covers fundamental concepts in physics, including mechanics, thermodynamics, and waves, preparing students for college-level physics courses.
Optics is the study of light—how it travels, bends, and forms images. Light behaves both like a wave and a particle (wave-particle duality).
Optics is essential for glasses, microscopes, telescopes, and fiber optic communication.
A straw looks bent in a glass of water because of refraction.
Eyeglasses help people see clearly by using lenses to focus light.
Optics explains how light works, letting us see, take photos, and transmit data.
