21
Q

What is the refractive index

A

It describes how fast light travels through a material

22
Q

What is total internal reflection

A

It is a phenomenon where light will change angle coming out of a medium until a critical point where it bounces of the bottom surface reflecting internally

23
Q

What are the different types of mirrors

A

Parabolic
Curved
Flat
Concave
Spherical

24
Q

What are the common terms of lenses

A

Principle axis
Principle focus
Focal length
Optical centre
Centre of curvature

25
What is a converging lens
It’s a lens that concentrates scattered rays to a principle focus
26
What is a diverging lens
It takes a concentrated principle focus and spreads it out
27
Give an example of a virtual image
Magnifying glass image or a mirror
28
What is a mechanical wave
Is an oscillation of matter and transfers energy through a medium like shaking a box of sand
29
What is a longitudinal wave
Sound and pressure waves and is parallel to the motion of energy
30
What is a transverse wave
When the movement of the particles at right angles examples being light and waves at sea
31
What is an eltromagentic wave
They don’t need a medium to travel and they are transverse
32
What is de brogikes hypothesis
It’s the theory of how matter behaves as waves
33
What is sound
It refers to how loud or soft a noise is through the disturbance of matter usually air
34
What does loudness looks like in a wave
It looks like a taller wave
35
What does pitch look like on a wave
The amount of peaks increase (frequency)
36
What is a progressive wave
They travel continuously in a certain direction in a medium
37
What is a stationary wave
They are produced when two similar waves collide and appear stationary
38
How do waves reflect
They can hit objects then bend and reverse going from hill to a dip on collision and heading back
39
What is the superstition principle hint (waves colliding )
When a pulse has the same shape from two different directions it will collide it amplitudes will be higher than the the amplitudes of the originals and then will recover their individual shapes and pass through eacother
40
What is the Doppler effect
As an object moves like a truck the sounds compress to a high frequency so it sounds louder coming towards you and when it passes it sounds quiter and gradually fades
41
Elements
Only contain one type of atom
42
Compounds
Contain two or more types of atoms
43
What is a molecule
Is the smallest thing a substance can be divided into
44
What is a molecule
Is the smallest thing a substance can be divided into
45
How many electrons in the first shell or k
2
46
What’s is the equation for pressure at the base of a colum
Pxgxh. Pressure x gravity x height Or Density x volume x gravity ————————————— Base area
47
What is a hydrometer used for
Measuring specific density ( looks like a tube with a float in it )
48
What is momentum
Mass x velcoity
49
What is velcoity
Displacement / time
50
How to convert Celsius to kelvin
+273.15
