/in /by

Your friend Lydia is having difficulty ”taking in” the information in her history class, so she ask you to use your expertise in psychology to offer some suggestions on how to improve her memory performance.

Discuss how attention, deep processing, elaboration and the use of mental imagery can affect the encoding process. Utilize your readings, lecture and powerpoints and examples that you might have to help with your post.

please summit a minimum of 250 words and cite your resources, Turnitin will be utilized. Please make sure you write your post in your own words.

The quizzes will help you reflect on your own attitude toward poverty and equity and diversity. completed quizzes are found below. Please use my answers when completing this assignment

Step 1: Complete the two awareness quizzes and take note of those you missed. (You will be able to check your answers immediately after

submitting each quiz). : I have taken the quizzes and included the results below.

These awareness quizzes illustrate how our perceptions of reality, and the “facts” we

are taught through the media, the education system, and other sources of information, can be limited in depth or simply wrong.

Step 2: Write and submit a 3-5 paragraph reflection/reaction, APA, double spaced responding to the questions below. Cite all resources

1.     Do you feel misled or misinformed of these issues? Explain.

2.     Did you struggle with these questions? Explain.

3.     Which specific items on the quiz that stood out for you or surprised you and why?

4.     How can misinformation about these issues contribute to stereotyping and oppression?

5.  What is your role as an educator/counselor in challenging these stereotypes or providing fuller understandings of these issues?

/in /by

Reflect on the importance of using articles from peer-reviewed journals compared to information from the Internet. Ask yourself who evaluates the accuracy of information that you might obtain websites like Wikipedia and what form of accountability there is to ensuring that information is up-to-date, reliable, and valid.

Review the Final Assignment: A

1. Research problems and questions

2. Finding and using existing knowledge

3. Focused research questions and research hypothesis

4. Research methods

5. Sampling issues and options

6. Measurement

7. Data acquisition

8. Data collection instruments

rticle Review and Critique in Week 10 for this class. Note that you will have to locate an empirical research article from a peer-reviewed journal. Begin to search for an article. Practice navigating the databases in the library by searching topics of interest. (Note: At this point, you do not need to identify the actual empirical research article. The goal of this assignment is to begin getting comfortable navigating the databases in the library).

For this Assignment, complete the following:

  • Identify a list of 10 peer reviewed social work journals from the library that you might find helpful relative to your social work practice interests.
  • In a 100-150 word paragraph, discuss why using research studies from peer reviewed journals is important to the development of knowledge in social work. For example, discuss the advantages of having articles reviewed by other scholars and researchers. Then using a case illustration, describe how articles from peer-reviewed journals can help to inform your social work practice decisions with clients, communities, agencies, and/or social work policies.

evised – 6/8/2020 The Lens Equation – 1

Laboratory 2

THE LENS EQUATION Purpose To study the central idea of the science of optics, the lens equation. Introduction In astronomy, we observe objects with light since the distances are so large. With the light we must combine the other senses of taste, touch, smell, hearing, and seeing. In order to do this, we must manipulate the light. We do this by allowing the light to enter a denser (i.e. a liquid or solid) object or being bounced off the same object. The two processes are called refraction and reflection, respectively. We use lenses made of glass to refract light and mirrors to reflect light. They both focus light onto one point and obey a single equation called the lens equation. In this lab, we will focus on the convex lens, the optical system that most telescopes use this type of lens or its complimentary system the concave mirror system. The convex lens works like this:

where the object is focus into an image on the other side of the lens. The formula to determine the focal length of the lens is:

DistanceImage 1

DistanceObject 1

LengthFocal 1

+= Equation 1

For optical systems we also want to know about the magnification of the images. We want to see how we can manipulate the different images. We can determine this from the ratio of the object size to the image the lens creates. Or we can determine this from the ratio of the object distance to the image distance at the position of the lens creating that image size. The geometry is as follows:

Procedure

1. Open https://ophysics.com/l12.html. This is the opening screen:

 

2. Move the focus point show that it shows f = 2 by clicking that focal point. Now make sure the object is size 2 and it is three squares away from the focal point. Record the object distance, image distance, and absolute value of image height in Table 1. Do this for four other object positions.

3. Move the focal point to f =4 and repeat the procedure from step 2.

4. Now complete Table 3 based on the data from Tables 1 and 2.

Questions

 

1. Mirrors tend to be lighter than the equivalent lenses. If you were developing a telescope that would need to collect light from a dim source, would you use a lens, multiple lenses, a mirror, or multiple mirrors to build the telescope? Defend your answer using your data and telescope simulators from the internet.

 

2. Can we use the distance ratios to find the magnifications? Analyze our understanding of lens characterization.

 

3. Analyze the shape of the lens with respect to focal length.
