Quick answer: Geometric optics treats light as rays. Reflection obeys θᵣ = θᵢ, refraction obeys Snell's law n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂, and mirrors and thin lenses obey 1/dₒ + 1/dᵢ = 1/f with magnification m = −dᵢ/dₒ. This AP Physics 2 quiz checks thin lens equation with 10 multiple-choice questions and instant feedback; every answer comes with a short explanation.
