Kinetic Energy

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. It is directly proportional to the mass of the object and the square of its velocity.

Work Done

Work is done when a force causes an object to move a certain distance. It is calculated by multiplying the force by the displacement.

Power

Power is the rate at which work is done. It measures how quickly energy is transferred or converted.

Refractive Index

The refractive index is a measure of how much light bends when it passes from one medium to another. Higher refractive indices mean greater bending.

Total Internal Reflection

Total internal reflection occurs when light traveling from a denser medium to a less dense medium strikes the boundary at an angle greater than the critical angle. The light is reflected back into the denser medium.

Study Notes

Physics Exam Review

  • Kinetic Energy Equation: Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 * mass * velocity²
  • Work Equation: Work = Force * distance
  • Power Equation: Power = Work / time
  • Units of Work: Joules (J)
  • Units of Power: Watts (W)
  • Units of Force: Newtons (N)
  • Units of Distance: Meters (m)
  • Units of Time: Seconds (s)
  • Units of Mass: Kilograms (kg)
  • Units of Velocity: Meters per second (m/s)

Light Reflection and Refraction

  • Refraction: Bending of light as it passes from one medium to another
  • Angle of Incidence: Angle between the incident ray and the normal
  • Angle of Refraction: Angle between the refracted ray and the normal
  • Normal: Perpendicular line to the surface where light hits
  • Medium: Material through which light travels
  • Law of Reflection: The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
  • Law of Refraction (Snell's Law): describes how light changes direction when passing from one transparent medium to another.

Multiple Choice Questions

  • Question 1: The correct expression for calculating kinetic energy is: (correct option is likely provided in the image, needs data from image).
  • Questions 2 - 9: Multiple choice questions regarding different physics concepts. Answers to these are dependent on the correct options available in the image.
