35
Q

A type of lens that has thinner edges and thicker middle

A

Concave lens

36
Q

Why does a ray of light travel slowly in some mediums

William Gilbert

39
Q

In a magnetic field do the lines go from negative to positive or positive to negative

A

It goes from positive to negative

40
Q

If like poles repel then what do unlike poles do

A

unlike poles attract

41
Q

If the line is closer to the magnet then is the magnetic field stronger or weaker

A

stronger

42
Q

Who is the father of electromagnetic induction

A

Michael Faraday

43
Q

Which is better for electromagnetic induction more or less coils and is moving the magnet faster better or is slower better

A

more coils makes a greater magnitude and moving the magnet faster gives the same effect

44
Q
