Optics B/C

[Infinity Flat]

How many teams ended up using 5 mirrors at the laser shoot?

Not sure. We used 4 mirrors, got 1 mm accuracy, and placed 3rd overall.

Just wondering, did you notice the not-aligned-with-the-base mirrors? My partner and I made our templates assuming that they were, and we didn't notice that the mirrors were tilted due to the covering, and got a score of 0 on the LSS (bounced off 2 mirrors and missed the third because of the tilt). I'm a bit upset about that, but it wasn't against the rules or anything...placed 15th with the test itself.

We also noticed that. Our team used 4 mirrors got 6mm accuracy and placed 5th in Optics. Hmmmm now I really wonder what Troy did/scored on the LSS.

I believe 2nd place team got dead on (which probably means +/- 2mm) with 5 mirrors. Hence, they were legitimate contenders and barely lost to Troy on the written test.

i heard Troy got 4th in Optics...why does that mean the 2nd place team lost on the written test? does anyone have the test results?

We did get dead on on the laser shoot with five mirrors, there were a few questions we were not sure on (the laser question regarding the different kinds of glass) which cost us a bunch of points. I was also wondering about the written test results

Was the answer to the part involving 4 classical optics equations on the National Exam Maxwell's Equations?
Please tell me it was something else. Cause I thought of that but didn't write it at the time... And now it's bothering me... A lot...

Do you guys think that the test was relatively easy for the B Division? I felt like pretty much the answer to every single question there was in my binder...

Well, I'm pretty sure it was Maxwell's equations, sorry! D:

That's depressing... I need to just go with the first thing that pops into my head more often... We got 5th but I was sick the day of the competition and couldn't do nearly as much as normal. If you had it in the last time block, I was the guy in the corner with a tissue box I felt bad for my partner
