Optics B/C

Quick question: Is tape allowed to hold down things, such as protractors and such, on the LSS?

I think general rule #2 applies here, but as always, this is not the place for official clarifications.

Any suggestions on places where I could find info on the topic. I'm in B and its my first year. Plz anything helps.



(P.S. NO wikipedia school rule)

What do you mean "NO wikipedia school rule"? Wikipedia is a fine resource. A normal high school physics textbook is also a good start.

I think this person means that Wikipedia is blocked by their school's internet.
To start, I'd check out the Optics Wiki and the SOINC page on optics (http://www.soinc.org/optics_b)

I suggest you ask your math/science teachers for their old college textbooks. They usually have them in their classrooms (as proved by my math teacher, biology teacher, and life science teacher). That's a good source of information, and it's usually varied. In addition, it's also pretty reliable, and it's not expensive that way.
If you prefer online, interactive lessons and documents, I recommend this: http://www.physicsclassroom.com/. It's really quite good, and I've used it before on numerous occasions.
I hope this helps.

For the physics portion of optics, I am using the Giancoli physics textbook.

Hey so this is my first year doing Science Olympiad and we've only had one prelim, but so far it has been really fun. I'm interested in Optics B but I can't seem to find a good site for information on the topic. Are there any websites or resources that are good for gathering material. Anything helps. Thanks a bunch!
