Study Notes
Refractive Index and Angle of Deviation
- The refractive index of a prism material affects the angle of deviation, with a higher refractive index resulting in a larger angle of deviation.
- A change in the refractive index of the prism changes the angle of deviation.
Angle of Prism and Deviation
- Increasing the angle of a prism increases the deviation of light, with a larger angle of the prism resulting in a larger angle of deviation.
Wavelength and Angle of Deviation
- Decreasing the wavelength of light passing through a prism increases the angle of deviation, and vice versa.
Quantization of Charge
- The fundamental property of charge that results in quantization is the discrete nature of electric charge, which comes in discrete packets (quanta) rather than being continuous.
Ohm's Law: Resistance and Electric Current
- An increase in resistance in a circuit decreases the electric current, according to Ohm's law, which states that current is inversely proportional to resistance.
Ohm's Law: Electric Current and Potential Difference
- The relationship between electric current and potential difference according to Ohm's law is that current is directly proportional to potential difference, with resistance being the constant of proportionality.
