Study Notes
Tips for Teachers and Learners
- Via Afrika values and supports teachers' roles, providing resources to save time and make teaching easier.
- The series is aligned with CAPS, with a possible work schedule and assistance for successful teaching.
Studying and Examination Techniques
- A possible work schedule has been included to assist learners.
- Eliminate choices and guess if unsure, but commit to an answer and mark it for review later.
- Calculations require stating the principle, law, or equation first, then substituting values in SI units.
- Write the correct SI unit with the final answer, and include direction for vector quantities.
- Marks are allocated for the equation, correct substitutions, calculated answer, and direction.
- Positive marking allows for correct calculations despite incorrect initial answers.
Using the Study Guide
- Each topic is presented as a summary followed by examination-type questions.
- Summaries are the "bare bones" of what learners need to know, but they must understand each statement.
- Learners should write down key words, test themselves, and then work through the questions.
- A full sample Physics examination and a full sample Chemistry examination are provided.
Physical Science Basics
- Prefixes are used in Physical Science, with examples provided in a table.
- The wave equation is v = fλ, with f = 1/T, and v = λ/T.
- Superposition is the addition of amplitudes of two pulses occupying the same space, resulting in constructive or destructive interference.
Longitudinal Waves and Sound
- A pulse is a single disturbance in a medium, with amplitude as the maximum displacement from rest position.
- Longitudinal pulses and waves have compressions and rarefactions.
- Sound waves are a type of wave that reaches the ear, demonstrated using a slinky spring.
- Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase.
Questions and Answers
- The phenomenon in the ripple tank is called superposition, with fan-shaped lines representing the resulting wave pattern.
- Sound waves have a frequency of around 500 Hz, with a wavelength calculated using v = fλ.
- Yellow light has a frequency of around 5 × 1014 Hz, with a wavelength calculated using v = fλ, and expressed in nanometres.
- Sound cannot travel in a vacuum, and the moon is referred to as "the silent planet" due to this.
- The speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, with wavelength and period calculated for a tuning fork of frequency 156 Hz.
