true
68
the basic formula for a parallel plate capacitor?
Q = CV Note: C is a constant therefore you can't find it with this equation.
69
the formula for capacitance of a capacitor
C = K ε0 A / d where K is the dielectric number ε0 is the permittivity of free space constant
70
t or f, K can be less than 1
false. K is always greater than 1 and therefore, when a dielectric insulator is present, it increases the capacitance always C = K ε0 A / d
71
what occurs when 1. keep battery attached, insert dielectric 2. disconnect the battery, insert dielectric
1. keep battery attached, insert dielectric --> keeping it connected means voltage is constant. Since the dielectric is added, C increases. According to Q = CV, if C increases, but V stays the same, Q must increase. 2. disconnect the battery, insert dielectric --> disconnecting it Q is constant. Since the dielectric is added, C increases. According to Q = CV, if C increases, but Q stays the same, V must decrease.
72
the formula for an electric field produced by a capacitor (which is uniform)

false --> they are opposite e.g. capacitors in series are added by their inverses
76

true
79
what is B proportional to when created by a long straight wire
B varies with I / r r is distance from the wire
80
can a magentic force do work?
no!!! therefore is does not change the speed of the charge ever - only the direction
81
what is hookes law?
F = -kx ``` x = displacement k = spring constant ```
82
what is the elastic potential energy of a spring equation?
PE = 1/2kx^2
83
simple pendulum formula for frequency?
f = 1/2pi x squareroot (g / L)
84
wave equation?
v = f x λ
85
true or false, speed is dependent on λ and f
false!! although v = f x λ, speed depends on the medium it travels through and NOT on f or λ therefore, if we change f then λ changes in the opposite way
86
how does v, f, and λ change when a wave changes media?
recall: wave speed is dependent on the medium therefore v changes NOTE: frequency always remains constant for a media change. if frequency remains constant but v changes, λ must be proportional to v v = f x λ
87
the equation for the wavelength of a standing wave?
λn = 2L / n where n = the # of nodes - 1 where n = the number of harmonics (1/2 wavelengths)
88
what is the fundamental wavelength?
this is the wavelength of one harmonic, i.e. when n of λn = 2L / n is equal to 1. if we know this value then we can simply multiply this wavelength by any integer to find any other harmonic
89
t or f, we can take λn = 2L / n and combine it with v = f x λ to get the harmonic frequency
true
90
t or f, λn = λ1 / n and fn = f1 /n
false, λn = λ1/n is correct since if we extend the number of nodes over a distance L, the wavelength must be decreasing (fn = f1 /n is incorrect) --> fn = f1 x n is correct since if wavelength is decreasing (above) then frequency must be increasing.
91
What is the formula for the harmonic wavelength for sound waves in an open pipe?
Each end of an open pipe is considered an anti-node therefore, this is similar to a transverse standing wave. λn = 2L / n where n is the number of half wave lengths
92
What is the formula for the harmonic wavelength for sound waves in an closed pipe?
the closed en of the pipe is a node while the open side is an anti-node. λn = 4L / n BUT n can only be odd numbers (1,3,5, etc.)
93
what is beat frequency?
fbeat = f |f1 - f2| absolute value is necessary
94
the formula for sound intensity
``` I = P / A I = j/s / m^2 ```
95
what 2 important factors does sound intensity vary by?
since most sources produce sound that permeates a sphere, A = 4 pi r^2 therefore I varies with 1/r^2 I = P / A power is a measure of energy and wave energy increases with amplitude therefore, intensity varies with amplitude
96
what is the formula for sound level / intensity level?
B = 10 log (I / Io) measured in decibels (remove the multiple of 10 and its just bels) Io = the threshold of hearing = 10^-12 W / m^2
97
what two rules govern the equation B = 10 log (I / Io) in terms of manipulating I?
If we multiply I by 10 we add 10 to B If we divide I by 10 we subtract 10 from B
98
if the intensity of a sound increases by 100, how did the sound level change?
sound level = intensity level if intensity increased by 100 then it was multiplied by 10 twice (10 x 10 = 100). therefore B must have increased by 20dB
99
Doppler effect: when the source and the detector are.. a. approaching b. receding how does the perceived frequency change?
a. approaching --> when the distance between them is getting smaller the perceived frequency increases b. receding --> when the distance between them is getting larger the perceived frequency decreases
100
what is the doppler equation?
(v +/- vd) fd = fs ---------- (v -/+ vs) ``` fd = perceived frequency of detector fs = source frequency vd = speed of detector vs = speed of source v = speed of wave (340 m/s for sound) ```
101
explain the logic for when the source and the detector are both moving away from each other using the equation.
(v +/- vd) fd = fs ---------- (v -/+ vs) if relative motion is away, then we know fd < fs therefore the fraction must be as small as possible for this to hold true therefore: v - vd and v + vd note also the way the signs are positioned. also may think top sign means toward
102
when a detector moves relative to a stationary source what changes out of v f λ
when the detector moves, he's changing his relative speed. Since the source is still, the wavelength fronts are the same for v to change but λ to stay the same f must change too e. g. approaching: detector approaches the sound then the relative speed increases and so does the perceived frequency.
103
when a source moves relative to a stationary detector what changes out of v f λ
when a source moves, the speed must stay the same. However, the moving source changes the wavelengths. for wavelength to stay change while speed stays the same f must change too. approaching: source approaches the detector then the wavelength is decreasing and so the frequency must increase
104
which waves require a medium out of electromagnetic sound rope
electromagnetic - does not need a medium to propagate sound - needs media rope - needs media
105
t or f, sound waves are longitudinal and EM waves are transverse
true
106
t or f, the speed of an EM wave is the same regardless of the frequency in a vacuum and in a medium
false the speed of an EM wave is the same regardless of the frequency in a vacuum however, the speed is slightly different for each frequency in a medium. this accounts for dispersion of waves (prism)
107
what is the order from shortest to longest wavelength of EM waves
gamma rays < x rays < UV light < VBGYOR < IR waves < microwaves < radiowaves
108
EM waves: when is energy proportional to amplitude and when is it proportional to frequency?
as a wave - amplitude squared as a particle / photon - frequency
109
what is the energy of a photon equation
E = hf E = h c/λ h = 6.6 x 10^-34
110
law of reflection: where is the angle measured
between the incidence ray and the normal (perpendicular line from the surface the ray is hitting)
111
t or f, the angle for refraction is also measured from the normal
true
112
t or f, media slows down EM waves
true
113
what is a mediums index of refraction
this is a measure of how much the medium slows down the EM wave. speed in vacuum IoR = ----------------------- speed in medium n = c / v the bigger the n value, the more the medium slows down light
114
what is Snells law (equation)
n1sinθ1 = n2sinθ2
115
If n1 > n2 what is true about the θ's? draw it.
if n1 > n2, and n1sinθ1 = n2sinθ2 then θ1 must be less than θ2 by Snell's law therefore when light travels from a slower medium (n1 in this case) to a faster medium (n2 in this case) then θ of refraction must be bigger then θ of incidence and therefore light bends away from the normal
116
when can total internal reflection occur?
ONLY when the second medium has a lower n value then the first medium. Think of when light tries to leave water into air.
117
what is the critical angle
the angle of incidence at which total internal reflection is about to occur. at the critical angle, light refracts along the media boundary making θ = 90 degrees with the normal. (draw it). if the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle, then TIR will occur
118
what is the formula for the critical angle?
sinθ = n2 / n1 θ = critical angle
119
what is diffraction?
when light passes through a slit of similar size to the lights wavelength. the light will bend
120
what is polarization
when light has a restricted direction of electric fields
121
what is dispersion
when light is refracted through a medium in which the individual colours are refracted slightly differently due to slightly different speeds (since it is in a medium).
122
what colour is refracted (bent) the least in dispersion?
red
123
what is the equation for the focal length?
f = 1/2r r = radius of the theoretical circle that a mirror / lens creates
124
mirrors: objects very distant from the mirror will have light rays converging?
at the focal point
125
mirrors: for a concave mirror, if the object is close but further away then the focal point the image will be real and the rays will intersect behind the focal point. If the object is within the focal point and the mirror, the image is virtual since lines intersect behind the mirror. t or f
true
126
mirrors: what is a real image? what is the value of i? virtual images?
if the rays actually intersect then the image is real and i is positive. if the rays theoretically intersect (like a convex mirror) then the image is virtual and i is negative.
127
what is the mirror equation?
1/f = 1/o + 1/i note: o is always positive - distance the object is from mirror i - distance of image from mirror
128
when is i and f positive for mirrors and lenses?
when the observer is on the same side as the image, the image is real and positive. draw a mirror and lens to see
129
magnification equation?
m = -i / o think: if i is positive, then the image is real, which means the observer is on the same side as the image. real image then must be inverted since m is negative
130
t or f virtual images are upright images
true, since i of a virtual image is negative and | m = -i/o
131
how can we find the height of the image?
multiply the height of the object by the magnification number
132
concave mirrors concave lenses convex mirrors convex lenses list whether the focal length is +/- for each.
a focal length is positive if the image results from the actual intersection of rays concave mirrors --> positive concave lenses --> (diverging lens) --> negative convex mirrors --> negative convex lenses --> (converging lens) --> positive
133
plane mirrors produce what kind of image?
a virtual image (therefore a negative i value, upright image)
134
t or f, the equations for mirrors apply to lenses
true
135
what is lens power and what is its equation?
lens power explains how strong a lens bends light. the more it bends light the more power has P = 1 / f focal length (f) must be in meters unit = diopters (D)
136
what unit for focal length do we use for lens power
meters
137
t or f, for consecutive lenses we add the powers
true and note that negative power does exist. for example, a diverging/concave lens has a negative focal length and thus negative power
138
what is myopia? what do they see where do rays converge how do we correct it
myopia = shortsightedness people can see nearby things the rays converge before the retina corrected with a diverging lens
139
what is hyperopia? what do they see where do rays converge how do we correct it
hyperopia = farsightedness people can see far away things the rays converge after the retina corrected with a converging lens
140
Stats: what is the mean?
the average of a sample. here you sum up all the values and divide by the number of components. the mean is not necessarily a number seen in the sample
141
Stats: what is the median?
the middle number in the data set. put the numbers in consecutive order and find the one literally in the middle. If there is an even amount of numbers, we then average the two closest to the middle XXYYXX --> we average the Y's
142
Stats: what is the mode?
the most frequently recurring number in a data set. 32, 65, 66, 67, 68, 68, 69, 70, 70, 70, 70 ,71 70 is the mode
143
Stats: what is the mode for a sequence of numbers that never repeat?
if no numbers occur more than once, there is no mode!!
144
Stats: what is the standard deviation?
it is a measure of how much each individual number differs from the mean
145
Stats: for standard deviation, what is a normal distribution?
large sets of data form a symmetrical, bell shaped curve when graphed by frequency (# of instances). the measure is on the y axis (weight, grades, etc) and the frequency is on the x
146
Stats: what is a low standard deviation?
most data points are close to and similar to the mean
147
Stats: what is a high standard deviation?
data is more spread out
148
Stats: what is the significance of the values 34%, 68%, and 13.6%?`
a normal distribution has a set structure. We can therefore break up the graph into chunks of certain meaning. 34% of components fall 1 S.D. above the mean 34% of components fall 1 S.D. below the mean thus, 68% of components fall within 1 S.D. of them mean. 13.6% of components fall between 1 and 2 S.D.'s and so on.
149
Stats: t or f, for a normal distribution, essentially all data falls within 3 standard deviations of the mean
true
150
Stats: what is an independent and dependent variable?
dependent variable is a function of the independent variable.
151
Stats: what is statistical power?
statistical power is the likelihood that you have enough subjects to accurately prove your hypothesis is true within an acceptable margin of error small sample sizes influence this
152
Stats: what is sampling bias?
when a group of people being tested was not randomly selected and therefore may unintentionally skew results.
153
Stats: what is specific real area bias self-selection bias pre-screening / advertising bias healthy user bias
these are all forms of sampling bias specific real area bias --> when you select people close in proximity. (like standing in the arc where you get extrovert answers but no introvert answers) self-selection bias --> when the study allows people to choose to participate or not (like surveys which may only reach out to highly opinionated people on the topic) pre-screening / advertising bias --> volunteers how succumb to advertising of a research may acquire only people highly motivated in the research. e.g. smoking cessation may only get people who are v serious about quitting healthy user bias --> when the study population is likely healthier than the general population.
154
Stats: t test measures what? whats important about it?
t test measures significance of a correlation between stats. significant findings have a p value of less than 0.05
155
Stats: what is inter-rater reliability?
when two separate raters (researchers) examine someone, they should have similar findings for the same study.
156
what are confounding factors?
these are hidden variables not directly tested for, that correlate in some way with either the independent or dependent variable and thus may impact results. this may effect internal validity --> can we prove a causal relationship between the two variables being tested
157
Stats: what is external validity?
this is asking if we can take the info of the study and generalize it to other situations.
