    Study Notes

    Buoyant Force

    • The principle that explains buoyant force is Archimedes' Principle, which states that an object submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.

    Ideal Gas Law

    • The equation representing the relationship between pressure (P), volume (V), and temperature (T) in an ideal gas is the Ideal Gas Law: PV = nRT, where n is the number of moles and R is the universal gas constant.

    Thermal Expansion in Solids

    • Thermal expansion in solids is the phenomenon where a solid increases in size when its temperature rises, due to the increased kinetic energy of its atoms causing them to move apart.

    Total Internal Reflection

    • Total internal reflection occurs when light traveling through a denser medium hits a boundary with a less dense medium at an angle greater than the critical angle, resulting in the light being completely reflected.

    Wave Interference

    • When two waves interfere constructively, they combine to produce a wave of greater amplitude, leading to increased intensity of the resulting wave.
