Physics Study Notes
- Kinetic Energy: Calculated by the formula KE = 1/2mv². Depends on mass and velocity.
- Work: Measured in Joules (J), calculated as force multiplied by distance moved in the force's direction (W = Fd).
- Power: The rate at which work is done, measured in Watts (W). Power = Work/Time.
- Units of Power: Joules per second (or Watts) are the standard units.
- Types of Energy: Kinetic, potential, and other energy forms exist.
- Light Refraction: Light changes direction when passing through different mediums. The angle of refraction is dependent on the angle of incidence and the properties of the mediums.
- Light Dispersion: White light separates into various colors when passed through a prism.
- Total Internal Reflection: Occurs when light travels from a denser medium to a less dense one and the angle of incidence exceeds a critical angle.
- Angle of Incidence/Refraction: Angles related to the way light rays interact with surfaces.
- Optical Phenomena These involve the bending, reflection, or absorption of light in various ways.
