Properties of light
Properties of lightFelix Bunagan Light travels in straight lines and very fast, faster than sound. We see objects because they reflect light into our eyes, while shadows are formed when light is blocked. There are two main types of reflection - specular reflection off smooth surfaces like mirrors, and diffuse reflection off rough surfaces. The law of reflection states that the incident ray, reflected ray, and normal to the surface all lie in the same plane, with the angle of incidence equaling the angle of reflection.
Plane mirror
Plane mirrorNeena Haridas This document discusses the basics of mirrors and reflection. It explains that a simple mirror is made of a plane glass with a silver coating on the back protected by a layer of red paint. This allows the glass to provide a smooth reflective surface while preventing light from passing through. The key points of reflection are also outlined, including how the incident ray strikes the mirror at the point of incidence, and the reflected ray bounces off at the same angle following the law of reflection.

Reflection and Mirrors
Reflection and Mirrorsitutor Light is an electromagnetic wave that can be reflected, absorbed, or refracted. The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Mirrors can form either real or virtual images. Concave mirrors focus parallel light rays to a focal point, forming real, inverted, and reduced images between the focal point and center of curvature. The mirror equation and magnification equation can be used to calculate the location and characteristics of an image formed by a spherical mirror.
Characteristics of light
Characteristics of light2015EmilyTripp This presentation introduces the characteristics of light and the electromagnetic spectrum. It discusses the different types of electromagnetic waves including their frequencies and wavelengths. It describes the parts of a wave like amplitude, frequency, period, and wavelength. It explains that light travels at a finite speed of 299,792,458 meters per second. It also covers how the brightness of light decreases with the inverse square of the distance from the source.
Refraction of Light
Refraction of LightEdzon Tatualia This document discusses the phenomenon of refraction of light. It defines refraction as the bending of light when passing from one medium to another. It explains that light slows down when passing into a denser medium from a less dense one. The key concepts covered are the angle of incidence, angle of refraction, and Snell's law which relates the two angles and the refractive indices of the materials. Total internal reflection is described as light bending back into the denser medium if the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle. Examples of calculating angles and indices of refraction are provided.
Curved Mirrors
Curved MirrorsOhMiss The document discusses the characteristics of curved mirrors, including concave and convex mirrors. It defines key terms like focal point, focal length, vertex, and describes the four cases of image formation for concave mirrors based on the object's distance from the mirror. Real images can be projected, virtual images appear behind the mirror. Concave mirrors form inverted and magnified or reduced real images. Convex mirrors always form upright, virtual and reduced images. Ray diagrams illustrate the reflection of light rays for both concave and convex mirrors.
Refraction of light
Refraction of lightSheikh Amman This document discusses the physics of refraction of light. Some key points:
- Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another with a different density, causing it to change speed and direction. It bends toward the normal when entering a denser medium and away when entering a rarer medium.
- The refractive index of a material is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to its speed in the material. It characterizes how much light bends when entering the material.
- Total internal reflection occurs when light passes from a denser to a rarer medium at an angle greater than the critical angle, causing it to reflect back rather than refract. This principle is used

Introduction to Light Waves
Introduction to Light WavesHanna Elise This document introduces key concepts about light waves. It describes light waves as electromagnetic disturbances that require a medium to propagate. Properties of light waves discussed include reflection, refraction, transmission, and absorption. Reflection is the bending of light at an interface between two media, governed by the law of reflection. Refraction is also the bending of light, but as it passes between media of different densities, which causes changes in light's speed and direction. Transmission refers to light passing through a medium without being absorbed. Absorption occurs when light passes through a medium with the same frequency and some of its energy is absorbed. The document also discusses Isaac Newton's and Rene Descartes' contributions to understanding the colors of light, including Newton

Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface, following the law that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Refraction is the bending of light when passing from one medium to another at different speeds. Diffraction causes light to bend around barriers depending on the wavelength and barrier size. Interference results from the interaction of crests and troughs of light waves, producing constructive or destructive interference.
Types of charging process
Types of charging processLucky Princess Dela Cruz Electrons, protons, and neutrons are the main subatomic particles that make up atoms. Electrons have a negative charge and orbit the nucleus, while protons have a positive charge in the nucleus. Neutrons have no charge. Atoms consist of a nucleus surrounded by electrons. When an object gains or loses electrons through friction or contact with another object, it becomes positively or negatively charged respectively, as gaining or losing electrons leaves the object with an excess or deficit of protons. Charging by contact occurs when a charged object transfers charge to a neutral object they touch.

- An electric field (E) represents the influence of an electric charge. It has magnitude and direction at each point in space.
- The direction of electric field lines indicates the direction of the electric force on a positive test charge placed at that point.
- The density of electric field lines indicates the strength of the electric field - more closely spaced lines means a stronger field.
- Electric field lines outside a conductor must be perpendicular to the conductor's surface because charges within a conductor redistribute such that the net electric field inside a conductor is always zero due to electrostatic equilibrium.

Corection of sph ametropia
Corection of sph ametropiaOPTOM FASLU MUHAMMED There are two methods of evaluating refractive error: subjective refraction which relies on patient feedback, and objective refraction which relies on the examiner's judgement. Subjective refraction involves correcting the spherical error, determining astigmatism, and modifying the correction while controlling accommodation. The examiner determines the best vision sphere by adding lenses until blurring occurs and establishes the maximum plus or minimum minus power tolerated. Objective refraction uses retinoscopy to initially determine the spherical error. A pinhole can estimate the maximum correctable vision by reducing the size of blurred retinal images caused by uncorrected refractive errors.

Sturm's conoidDr Samarth Mishra Sturm's conoid refers to the optical condition where the refractive power of the cornea and lens are not uniform in all meridians, resulting in two focal points separated by a focal interval. The distance between focal points is called the Sturm's conoid interval. The shape of light rays at different levels in a Sturm's conoid forms ovals and circles. Astigmatism can be corrected through surgical procedures like astigmatic keratotomy, limbal relaxing incisions, laser ablation, suture removal after keratoplasty, relaxing incisions with compression sutures, corneal wedge resection, and implantation of toric IOLs.

Concave mirrors
Concave mirrorsAbbinaya Helbig Concave mirrors reflect light inwards like the inside of a bowl. Rays of light hitting any point on the curved mirror behave as if they are hitting a flat plane at that point. All the imaginary normal lines drawn from points on the curved surface meet at the center of curvature. Rays parallel to the principal axis, which runs through the vertex and center of curvature, meet at the focal point. The location and orientation of the mirror's image depends on where the object is placed relative to the focal point and center of curvature.

Astigmatism
AstigmatismRohit Rao Astigmatism is a condition where the eye's refractive power varies in different meridians, causing blurred vision. It is caused most commonly by corneal irregularities, and results in light rays forming an image called the Sturm's conoid instead of focusing on the retina. Astigmatism can be regular, irregular, or oblique depending on the orientation of the steepest meridians. It is classified and treated based on whether the refractive error causes light to focus in front of, on, or behind the retina. Treatment options include corrective lenses, contact lenses, and refractive surgeries like astigmatic keratotomy.

Astigmatismavinas This document defines astigmatism as a condition where light rays are not focused to a single point on the retina due to irregular curvature or refractive index of the cornea or lens. It classifies astigmatism based on etiology, orientation of refractive meridians, and location of focal points relative to the retina. Signs include distorted vision and headaches. Clinical tests include refraction, keratometry, and retinoscopy. Management options are spectacles, contact lenses, and refractive surgery to correct the astigmatism.

1) The law of reflection states that the incident ray, reflected ray, and normal to the surface all lie in the same plane and the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
2) Plane mirrors form upright, virtual images that are the same size as the object and located the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front.
3) Spherical mirrors can be concave or convex depending on whether the inside or outside surface is polished. Concave mirrors form real or virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the focal point.
Concave mirrors
Concave mirrorsZHALNJR Concave mirrors are curved mirrors that are bent inward. They reflect light to a single focal point and are used to focus light.

In astigmatism, light rays from one sector focus on one point of the retina while rays from another sector focus on a different point, resulting in blurred vision. Around 60% of refractive error cases involve astigmatism. It is classified as mild, moderate, severe, or extreme depending on the degree of refractive error. Regular astigmatism results from corneal or lenticular shape and irregular astigmatism involves irregular changes in refractive power. Treatment options include optical aids like glasses and contact lenses or refractive surgery procedures.
Visual acuity 
Visual acuity salee306 Visual acuity is measured using Snellen charts to test spatial resolution and ability to distinguish between points. Snellen charts use letters of decreasing size arranged by lines to test visual acuity at different distances. Visual acuity is recorded as a fraction where the numerator is the test distance and denominator is the smallest line read correctly. Other tests include pinhole, potential acuity and photostress testing to evaluate macular function and reserve. Near visual acuity uses charts like Jaeger or Roman types with decreasing print sizes to test close vision.
astigmatism sturms cnoid
astigmatism sturms cnoidYasir Maqsood Astigmatism is an optical condition where the cornea and lens have different refractive powers in different meridians, resulting in two focal points instead of one. The distance between focal points is called the Sturm's conoid interval. Astigmatism can be caused by abnormalities in the cornea or lens. It can be regular, where the meridians are perpendicular, or irregular. Symptoms include blurry vision, asthenopia, and headaches. Treatment options include glasses, contact lenses, and refractive surgery like LASIK or LASEK.
Methods of visual acuity testing in preverbal children
Methods of visual acuity testing in preverbal childrenPaavan Kalra The document discusses various methods for testing visual acuity in preverbal children, including historical and observational techniques, fixation targets, binocular fixation preference testing, and the CSM method. Visual acuity develops rapidly in the first year of life and continues to mature, reaching adult levels around 5-6 years of age. A variety of tests are used depending on the child's age and verbal ability, including forced choice preferential looking tests and visual evoked potentials for younger infants, and recognition tests using toys, balls, or pictures for older children. Accurate assessment of visual acuity in preverbal children relies on their visual behaviors and responses.
Ohm's law
Ohm's lawHOLY ANGEL UNIVERSITY The document reports on an experiment to verify Ohm's Law by measuring the current and voltage in circuits with known resistors. Two resistors were tested (R1 = 11.2Ω, R2 = 21.1Ω). Measurements were taken using a voltmeter, ammeter, and ohmmeter. The data was plotted and linear fits confirmed Ohm's Law. Slopes from the plots matched the resistor values to within measurement error, verifying Ohm's Law.

Lect17 handout
Lect17 handoutoyunbileg06 The document discusses reflection and refraction of light. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface, obeying the law that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Refraction occurs when light passes from one medium to another of different density, bending according to Snell's law relating the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction to the indices of refraction. Spherical mirrors can form real or virtual images depending on the position of the object relative to the focal point. Refraction causes the apparent bending of an object in a medium like water.

The key laws of reflection are presented: 1) the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection and 2) the incident ray, normal ray, and reflected ray all lie in the same plane. Different types of mirrors and reflection are described. The document uses diagrams with light rays to demonstrate how virtual images are formed by mirrors and how to determine the location, size, attitude, and type of an image.
Light
LightShafie Sofian - Reflection of light occurs when light bounces off a surface. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
- Refraction occurs when light changes speed and direction as it passes from one medium to another. The ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is a constant value called the refractive index.
- Experiments can show that light reflects according to the law of reflection and refracts at different angles depending on the medium, such as when passing through glass blocks. Measurements are used to determine refractive indices.

Organelles
OrganellesOhMiss This document provides an overview of the main organelles found in eukaryotic cells and their functions. It discusses the cytoplasm, cell membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, vacuoles, and additional organelles specific to plant cells including the cell wall and chloroplasts. Each organelle carries out specialized functions that allow the cell to perform basic activities necessary to stay alive such as using energy, storing materials, transporting substances, and reproducing.
Cell division
Cell divisionOhMiss The cell cycle is the repeating series of growth and division that produces new cells. It consists of interphase, where the cell grows and DNA is replicated, and mitosis, where the cell divides into two daughter cells each with identical DNA. Chromosomes, made of DNA and proteins, condense during cell division and separate into each new cell, ensuring genetic continuity. The cycle controls cell growth, division, and death through regulated phases.
Cell theory & types of cells
Cell theory & types of cellsOhMiss Cell theory states that all living things are composed of cells, cells are the basic unit of structure and function, and new cells are produced from existing cells. Cells can be classified as prokaryotic, which lack organelles and a nucleus, or eukaryotic, which contain organelles and a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells can be single-celled or multi-cellular, and multi-cellular organisms contain specialized cells that perform distinct functions like transport, storage, photosynthesis, and more.
GHG Sources & Human Activities
GHG Sources & Human ActivitiesOhMiss The document discusses sources and sinks of greenhouse gases and their contribution to climate change. It explains that the main natural greenhouse gas is water vapor, while the main human-caused one is carbon dioxide released from sources like burning fossil fuels. Forests normally act as carbon sinks by absorbing carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, but deforestation has reduced this, increasing atmospheric carbon levels. In addition to large industries, personal lifestyle choices and consumption patterns also generate significant greenhouse gas emissions through activities like waste disposal, manufacturing of disposable products, electricity use, transportation of goods, and more.
Greenhouse Gases
Greenhouse GasesOhMiss The document discusses greenhouse gases and their role in the greenhouse effect. It notes that 31% of incoming solar radiation is reflected by clouds, atmosphere and land, while 30% is absorbed by the atmosphere. The remaining radiation warms Earth's surface. Increased greenhouse gas concentrations mean less heat is released to space, increasing average surface temperatures. Tree ring data provides long-term climate records, with thicker rings indicating optimal growth conditions.
Earth's Climate
Earth's ClimateOhMiss The document discusses several factors that influence Earth's climate:
1) Solar energy is the main driver of climate, affecting global temperatures as it is absorbed by the atmosphere, oceans, and land.
2) Other factors like Earth's orbit, axial tilt, and rotation influence the distribution of solar radiation and cause seasonal changes.
3) Large bodies of water like oceans influence climate by slowly storing and transferring heat around the world.
Lenses and the human eye
Lenses and the human eyeOhMiss There are several types of lenses including double convex, single convex, concavo-convex, convexo-concave, single concave, and double concave. The thin lens equation relates the object distance, image distance, and focal length. A concave lens has a negative focal length while a convex lens has a positive focal length. The image distance is positive for a real image and negative for a virtual image. The eye contains rods and cones, including three types of cones that detect red, green, and blue light. The lens of the eye changes shape to keep close and distant objects in focus by altering how parallel and diverging light rays enter the eye. Common vision problems include nearsightedness which
Lenses
LensesOhMiss Lenses are transparent materials that refract light in a predictable way. They are used to magnify or project images. There are two main types of lenses: convex and concave. Convex lenses are thicker in the center and converge light, forming a real image. Concave lenses are thinner in the center and diverge light, forming a virtual upright image that is smaller than the object. The way light rays behave when passing through lenses can be depicted using ray diagrams to show the characteristics of the image formed.
Snell's law
Snell's lawOhMiss Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from an optically dense medium to a less dense medium and the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle. At the critical angle, the refracted ray travels along the surface of the dense medium. If the incident ray exceeds the critical angle, total internal reflection occurs and the light ray is reflected back into the dense medium rather than refracting into the less dense medium. Mirages can form due to both total internal reflection and refraction as light passes through layers of air with different densities. Snell's law defines the mathematical relationship between the angle of incidence, angle of refraction, and the indices of refraction of the media.
Refraction
RefractionOhMiss Refraction is the bending of light when it passes from one medium to another. Light travels at different speeds in different media, causing it to change direction at the boundary between the two. The degree to which light is refracted depends on the index of refraction, which is a ratio comparing the speed of light in a medium to the speed of light in a vacuum. White light disperses into the colors of the visible spectrum when refracted due to different wavelengths bending by different amounts.
Colour Optics
Colour OpticsOhMiss Additive color theory describes how light combines, stating that white light is composed of red, green, and blue wavelengths, and combining two primary colors produces a secondary color. Subtractive color theory explains how color pigments work by absorbing some light wavelengths and reflecting others, with the primary colors for pigments being cyan, magenta, and yellow which combine to produce the secondary colors red, green, and blue.
Light and the Electromagnetic Spectrum
Light and the Electromagnetic SpectrumOhMiss Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that travels in waves made up of electric and magnetic fields. The electromagnetic spectrum includes both visible light and invisible forms of energy across a range of wavelengths. The wavelength of light determines whether it is visible to the human eye or not, with different wavelengths appearing to us as different colors. Objects are visible because they reflect light, with smooth surfaces reflecting light specularly and rough surfaces reflecting it diffusely.
Acids & Bases
Acids & BasesOhMiss Acids and bases can be identified by their names or chemical formulas. Acids contain hydrogen (H) or a carboxyl group (COOH) and have a pH below 7. Bases contain a metallic or ammonium ion and hydroxide (OH) and have a pH above 7. Acid-base indicators change color at specific pH levels and can be used to determine if a solution is acidic or basic. A neutralization reaction occurs between an acid and base, producing water and a salt.

asdfgx934OhMiss The document describes 5 types of chemical reactions:
1. Synthesis reactions combine elements to form compounds.
2. Decomposition reactions break compounds down into their constituent elements.
3. Single displacement reactions occur when one element displaces another in a compound.
4. Double displacement reactions involve the switching of ions between two ionic compounds in aqueous solution.
5. Combustion reactions involve the burning of hydrocarbons in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
Lab equipment
Lab equipmentOhMiss This document describes various pieces of lab equipment including beakers, Erlenmeyer flasks, volumetric flasks, graduated cylinders, test tubes, tongs, test tube holders, test tube brushes, scoopulas, thermometers, forceps, medicine droppers, test tube racks, stirring rods, Bunsen burners, retort stands, C-clamps, burettes, wire mesh, clay triangles, crucibles, funnels, filter paper, mortar and pestles, spot plates, evaporating dishes, Petri dishes, and watch glasses. Each item is briefly described in terms of its common laboratory uses and characteristics.
Chemical Reactions
Chemical ReactionsOhMiss A chemical reaction involves the transformation of reactants into different products through rearrangement of atoms. Chemical reactions conserve mass as atoms are not destroyed or created, but instead are reorganized into new substances. Balancing chemical equations ensures the same number and type of atoms are on both sides of the reaction.
Molecular Compounds
Molecular CompoundsOhMiss Molecular compounds are formed when two or more different non-metal atoms combine via covalent bonds, sharing electron pairs. Examples include water, which is made of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. Molecular compounds have properties like being soft and having low melting points. They are named systematically with the first element, the second as an "-ide", and prefixes to indicate atom amounts, like dinitrogen monoxide for N2O.
Models of the Atom
Models of the AtomOhMiss The document summarizes the development of atomic models over time from Dalton's model to the current quantum mechanical model. Dalton imagined atoms as spheres that differed in size and mass. Thomson discovered the electron and proposed the "plum pudding" model. Rutherford's gold foil experiment revealed the tiny, dense nucleus. Chadwick discovered neutrons in the nucleus. Bohr incorporated electron shells. The current quantum model depicts electrons as clouds surrounding the nucleus.
Circuits
CircuitsOhMiss An electric circuit is a closed path that allows electrons to flow from an energy source and back. A closed circuit allows continuous electron flow, while an open circuit interrupts flow. Common circuit components include batteries, wires, switches, bulbs and resistors. Circuit diagrams use symbols to represent components and visualize connections before building real circuits. Series circuits have a single current path, so adding resistors increases total resistance and dims all bulbs. Parallel circuits provide multiple paths, so adding resistors decreases total resistance despite each path's resistance increasing.
