Mobius Flashcards
When a gas, liquid or solid is mechanically disturbed, ____ waves are produced
sound
Speed of sound is defined as
frequency x wavelength
What happens when the frequency of the driving force equals natural frequency of the system?
Resonance
Percieved loudness can be measured as
Logmarithmic
When
- sound waves reaching observer perceived to be at a more frequent rate
- Sound waves compressed into shorter distance
The source of sound is moving?
towards the observer
When
- sound waves reaching observer perceived to be at a less frequent rate
- Sound waves expanded into longer distance
The source of sound is moving?
away from the observer
Frequency greater than range of human hearing
Ultrasound
All waves are subject to
diffraction
Light can become polarised by
- Reflection
- Refraction
- Scattering
Concerning the interaction of light with matter
optics
Light rays will travel in a ____ line if they remain in the same medium
straight
At the boundary between two media, the light ray can change direction by
reflection or refraction
Index of refraction changes for different wavelength.
Snell’s Law
Image is:
* virtual
* upright
* magnified
Object at a distance* less* than the focal
length from the lens
Virtual image always produced by a ____ lens
concave
If the focal length is positive, it is a ____ lens.
convex
If the focal length is negative, it is a ____ lens.
concave
If the image distance is positive, the image is
real
If the image distance is negative, the image is
virtual
If the magnification is positive, then the image is
upright
If the magnification is negative, then the image is
inverted
Contributes only about 20-25% of the refractive power of the eye
Lens
Regulates the amount of light entering the eye by controlling the diameter of the pupil
Iris
The spreading of light as it passes through an aperature or
passes by the edge of an object
Diffraction
