4. The amplitude of a wave determines its energy. Higher amplitude has greater energy.
7. Waves undergo all of these phenomena; reflection, refraction, diffraction & interference.
10. As the frequency of a wave increases its energy increases and its wavelength decreases.
2. Light slows down, bends toward the normal and has a shorter wavelength when it enters a higher
refractive index(n).
5. Blue light has more energy,a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency than red light (remember-
ROYGBIV).
4. Water waves bended towards normal as it moves from deeper to shallow region.
5. After diffraction, water waves amplitude decrease thus its energy decrease as well.However its
speed, wavelength & frequency remain constant.
Facts about sound waves
1. Sound is a longitudinal waves.
2. Sound is produced through vibration, thus compressing & stretching the surrounding air molecules.
5. The sound that we hear is known as 'audio sound' that has freuency between 20-20khz.
6. Those sound below 20hz is known as infrasound. While sound with frequency beyond 20khz is
known as ultrasonic.
3. Zero acceleration also means either the object is at rest or moving at constant velocity.
4. Weight (in newtons) is mass x gravitational acceleration (w = mg). Mass is not weight!
6. Constant velocity and zero velocity means the net force is zero and the forces are in
equilibrium
7. The equilibrium forces is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the resultant vector.
5. Total energy dring the transformation is constant. (Total initial energy = Total final energy)
8. Eleastic potential energy of the spring increases as the extension or compression of the spring
increase.
