  • Light travels faster through air than water, so when light hits water it bends towards the normal line.
  • When light passes from denser medium to less dense medium, it bends away from the normal line.
  • Light travels at 300 million meters per second, a million times faster than sound
  • Light travels in waves and in straight lines.These waves are called oscillations.Light is a transverse wave.
  • A year is the amount of time it takes the Earth to orbit the sun
  • Current is the result of moving charges(amps)
  • A lever(simple machine) is a rigid object that will rotate around a fixed point(pivot)
  • Moment is the turning effect of a force.It can be clockwise or anticlockwise.
  • Elastic deformation is when an object returns to its original shape when forces are removed
