myopia (nearsightedness)
eye forms an image of distant objects at a focal point in front of retina
corrected with diverging concave lens
hyperopia (farsightedness)
can’t see nearby objects. Corrected by placing converging convex lens in front of eye
polarization
alignment of transverse wave oscillations in a particular orientation along the x,y,z, axis
transverse waves cause oscillations perpendicular to the direction of propagation
wavelength for one open one closed pipe + both closed pipes
wavelength = 4*L/n
n= odd numbers only
frequency +wavelength for waves in open pipes and strings
f=velocity/wavelength
=n*v/2L
wavelength: 2L/n
lens equation
1/focal length= 1/object +1/image
converging (convex): positive
diverging (concave): negative F=-f
conductors vs insulators
conductors facilitate electrical current whereas insulators inhibit electrical current
