Study Notes

Electromagnetic Radiation

Radio waves possess the lowest frequency within the electromagnetic spectrum.
All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum.
Violet exhibits the shortest wavelength within the visible spectrum.
Microwaves find common use in heating food.
All electromagnetic waves share the characteristic of being transverse waves.
The order of the electromagnetic spectrum, in terms of decreasing wavelength, is: radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Electromagnetic radiation can behave as both a wave and a particle.

Visible Spectrum

The mnemonic "ROYGBIV" helps remember the colors of the visible spectrum: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet.

Forces and Motion

The unit used to measure force is the Newton (N).
Acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).
An object is in equilibrium when the net force acting upon it is zero.
Momentum is a measure of an object's mass in motion and is conserved in a closed system.
The unit N/kg represents acceleration in physical measurements.
An object with a mass of 2 kg and experiencing a force of 10 N will have an acceleration of 5 m/s².
The relationship between mass, acceleration, and force is represented by Newton's Second Law of Motion (F = ma).
The unit 'kg m/s' represents momentum.

Electrostatic Applications

The paint in electrostatic spraying carries a negative charge.
Ash and dust particles in an electrostatic precipitator are attracted to and collected on the earthed plates.
Modern inkjet printing utilizes electrostatic forces to direct ink droplets onto the paper.
Light causes electrons to be released from the drum of a photocopier, creating a positive charge.
When the earthed plates in an electrostatic precipitator are fully covered with dust, they must be cleaned to maintain efficiency.
The primary function of an electrostatic precipitator is to remove particulate matter from industrial exhaust gases.
Electrostatic spraying improves paint application by ensuring even and efficient coverage.
The bicycle frame in electrostatic spraying typically has a positive charge.
