Physics and Math MCAT Lecture: Light and Optics (1/2)

Hello Future Doctors! This video is part of a series for a course based on Kaplan MCAT resources. For each lecture video, you will be able to download the blank and completed notes.

If you have any questions or have specific problems that you would like to see in a problem set video, feel free to leave a comment below or email me at:

I will reply as soon as possible since I am a busy graduate student. But ultimately, I would still like to be a resource for you to use. I only wish for your success.

Good luck. You got this. Happy studying!

Thank you for this video Professor Eman! I have always struggled with understanding light rays and you explained this so clearly
I have been watching all your videos and they have been so helpful in my MCAT studying
Thank you thank you!!

Hi! thank you for this! I understood everything. my only question is when you explained for the example that the image is inverted using the sign/value convention of the object, can you explain that again?

my idea is to: (1) determine if image is real or virtual: see if value of "I" is pos or neg, (2) determine if image is upright or inverted: see if value of "m" is pos or neg

Are you going to be doing the final 2 videos on the final 2 chapters of the kaplan mcat physics book?

At 16:38 you have 1/r = 1/o+1/i = 2/r. How can 1/r = 2/r?
