    Study Notes

    Electromagnetic Radiation

    • Electromagnetic radiation includes forms such as light

    Color of an Object

    • The color of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light it absorbs or reflects

    Speed of Light

    • The speed of light in a vacuum is a constant value

    Behavior of Light

    • When light passes from one medium to another, it is refracted, or bent, due to the change in speed

    Compound Interest

    • The formula for compound interest is P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
    • In the formula, 'n' represents the number of times the interest is compounded per year
    • If the principal amount is $1000, the annual interest rate is 5%, and it is compounded annually, the amount after 2 years will be $1102.50
    • If the principal amount is $5000, the annual interest rate is 8%, and it is compounded semiannually, the amount after 3 years will be $6431.19
    • If the principal amount is $2000, the annual interest rate is 6%, and it is compounded quarterly, the amount after 3 years will be $3942.19
