Use mathematical models to determine relationships among the size and location of images, size and location of objects, and focal lengths of lenses and mirrors.

Clarification Statement:  Emphasis should be on analyzing ray diagrams to determine image size and location.

Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to analysis of plane, convex, and concave mirrors, and biconvex and biconcave lenses.
