16
Q

condition of TIR total.. 2

A

light travels from more dense to less dense
angle of i greater than c

17
Q

what is
principal focus
focal length

A

the point in which light is brough to by a lens
distance between principal focus and center of lens

18
Q

when object is from infinity image is at … and 3 characteristics
when object at f1 image is at

A

F it is real inverted and very small
infinity

19
Q

when is image is behind the object and virtual and vertical

A

in focal length between between f and center of lense

20
Q

what happens to size as the object is getting closer to the lens

A

gets larger

21
Q

size of object
beyond 2F
at 2f
between 2F F

A

very small
same size
enlarged

22
Q

what happens to white light when they pass through a prism

A

they get dispersed into a spectrum

23

red
violet

24
Q

uses of microwave 3
infrared
light

A

bluetooth phone calls wifi
aircon remove control
optical fibre

25
Q

diff between analogue signal and digital

A

analogue changes frequency and smplitude with time
digital is obly 0 or 1

26
Q

advantages of digital 5 kinda 3 though

A

can remove unwanted signals (regeneration)
better capacity and quality
can be stored processed by computers

27
Q

how do sound waves travel

A

by passing on vibration from one particle to the next

28

what are ultrasounds

A

sound waves with frequency larger than 20kHz

29
Q

uses of echo

A

radar and echo sounder that measures depth if water under boat
radar uses microwaves noty sound
