Q

Concave makes things

A

Focused on a single point, all light is converged to be concentrated to a sharp image

17
Q

Convex makes image

A

More of image is seen

18
Q

What is refraction?

A

The change of direction when light enters from one medium to another

19
Q

Law of reflection states that:

A

Light waves bounce back off the surface at the same angle that they strike the surface.
Angle of incident = angle of reflection

20
Q

Refraction is bending of

21
Q

Electromagnetic spectrum allows us to

A

Communication, exploration universe and medicine

22
Q

Optical fibres make use of visible light to transmit messages over long distance why is it better?

A

Cheaper, little energy, smaller tubes, faster

23
Q

Optical fibre:

A

Thin, glass core, protective jacket, total internal reflection, more info than copper wires

24
Q

Isotopes have same number of protons but different number of

25
Alpha particles can be stopped by paper t/f?
True
26
Nuclear reactions found in sun are
Nuclear fusion
27
Nuclear fusion:
Fusing two lighter atoms to a heavier one Occurs naturally in stars High density and temp Extremely high energy to overcome electrostatic repulsion Hydrogen bomb
28
Nuclear fission:
A neutron strikes a uranium nucleus which break into fragments. Free neutron stile other uranium nucleus creating a chain reaction Doesn't occur naturally Little energy Atomic bomb
29
Half life
Time taken for half of the nuclei to decay
30
Nebula
Large clouds of solar gases and stellar dust
31
Protostar
When cloud of gas cool and collapses begins to heat up
32
Quasars
Remote, dense, radio wave emiting dead star, light emiting
33
Inertia
The tendency of a body to maintain its state of rest or uniform motion in straight line until acted upon an opposite force
34
Neutralisation define
To stop something from having an effect
35
Decplacement reactions take place when
one metal pushes a compound and take its place
36
When metal reacts with acid:
Metal+hydrochloric acid > salt + hydrogen
37
In order for metal to react with acid it must be BEFORE OR AFTER hydrogen
Before
38
Types of galaxies
Elliptical Spiral Irregular Barred spiral
