8th physics light reflection refraction eyes defect and dispersion The ray of light which falls on the mirror surface is called incident ray. The point at which the incident ray strikes the mirror is called the point of incidence. The ray of light which is sent back by the mirror is called the reflected ray. The ‘normal’ is a line drawn at right angles to the mirror surface at the point of incidence. The angle between incident ray and normal is called the angle of incidence. The angle between

Experiment 1: Simple Harmonic Motion Dominic Stone Lab Partner: Andrew Lugliani January 9‚ 2012 Physics 132 Lab Section 13 Theory For this experiment we investigated and learned about simple harmonic motion. To do this we hung and measured different masses on a spring-mass system to calculate the force constant k. Simple harmonic motion is a special type of periodic motion. It is best described as an oscillation motion that causes an object to move back-and-forth in response to

EXPERIMENT NO-1 AIM- To determine the frequency of A. C. mains by using an electric vibrator. APPARATUS- Electric vibrator‚ table lamp‚ pulley‚ weight box‚ fishing cord‚ a. c. source. THEORY- when a cord of mass per unit length m is connected to the vibrating rod of the vibrator and stretched with a tension T‚ the cord vibrators in segments. If the length of the cord is then adjusted until the nodes are clearly marked‚ the frequency of the stretched string is the same as of the vibrating rod which

Quality of measurement Write Up Wire Wire This diagram shows how we carried out our experiment‚ by connecting 2 wires to the ohmmeter and attached the wires to the samples we used in our experiment. Preliminary Experiment At first in our preliminary experiment my group and me decided to use an ohmmeter instead of a multimeter. We did this as we thought it would make it easier for us to record our results. These are the results we got from our preliminary experiment: Length (mm)

Characteristics and Nature of Waves In physics‚ a wave is a disturbance that travels through space and time‚ usually accompanied by the transfer of energy. Waves travel and the wave motion transfers energy from one point to another‚ often with no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium—that is‚ with little or no associated mass transport. They consist‚ instead‚ of oscillations or vibrations around almost fixed locations. For example‚ a cork on rippling water will bob up and down

TERANO‚ ECE Lesson 5 ROTATIONAL KINEMATICS AND DYNAMICS Uniform Circular Motion – an object moves at a constant speed along a circular path. Velocity is always tangent to the path in circular motion. Speed is constant‚ velocity is not. Centripetal Acceleration‚ – acceleration that maintains the object along a circular path directed towards the center. Also called as radial acceleration
