Welcome to TI Physics.
The tools to help your students succeed.
Introducing the TI-Nspire CAS learning handheld and computer software TI-Nspire CAS (Computer Algebra System) technology is designed to support your instruction and curriculum. Realize the power of visual learning when it is applied to symbolic mathematics. TI-Nspire CAS technology adds a new interactive dimension, so your students are able to use educational technology to explore symbolic answers and the multiple representations of different problems.
- Perform symbolic algebra and symbolic calculus on a user-friendly interface.
- Experience spreadsheet capabilities similar to using Microsoft Excel® software.
- Show students the cause-and-effect nature of changes in real-time, on one screen.
- Help students input the proper exponents for exploring physics problems.

Focusing on Light
Posted on 05/06/2008
- Topic: Focusing on Light
- Activity Overview:
- In this activity, students explore the reflection of light by parabolic and semicircular mirrors. They begin by exploring reflection using a series of flat mirrors that are attached to one another to create a flexible mirror that can simulate a curved mirror. Students then explore reflection by a true parabolic mirror and by a semicircular mirror. They use their observations to differentiate between curved and parabolic reflectors.
