  • Direct Current (DC) 

    a current that flows in only one direction with lower voltage, and is represented by a single arrow
  • Alternating Current (AC)
    changing value zero to positive max to zero to negative max socket and has higher voltage
  • Resistors in series circuit

    When two or more resistors are connected end-to-end by just ONE WIRE
  • Resistors in series circuit

    equation
  • resistors in parallel circuit

    A parallel circuit comprises branches so that the current divides at a JUNCTION and only part of it flows through any branch
  • Resistors in parallel circuit

    equation
  • 400 B.C - GREEK PHILOSOPHERS
    Humans see by emitting light from our eyes which are then brought back to us, and animals have glowing eyes that suggest eyes do emit light
  • 1700s - ISAAC NEWTON
    Proposed that light is a steam of particles he called "corpuscles" which have different colors
  • White light

    Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet
  • 1801 - THOMAS YOUNG
    Showed an evidence that light is a wave using double-slit experiment
  • Interference pattern
    shows that light is a wave in double-slit experiment
  • 1865 - EM WAVES
    The existence of electromagnetic waves due to electricity and magnetism causing each other
  • 1865 - JAMES CLERK MAXWELL
    Confirmed that electromagnetic waves exist and the speed of light is equal to the speed of electromagnetic waves
  • Electromagnetic spectrum
    Radio, Microwave, Infrared, Visible Light, Ultraviolet, X-ray, Gamma Ray
  • 1900s - Max Planck
    Proposed the idea that light is made up of particles that carry its energy
  • 1900s - Albert Einstein
    Explained the photoelectric effect (Planck's idea) treats light as particles, and Became the foundation of quantum mechanics
  • Black is the absence of all colors
  • White is the result of the three primary colors that have equal intensities
  • TRUE or FALSE
    Light has both particle-like and wave-like properties
  • Transverse Waves
    particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the propagation of the wave
  • Longitudinal Wave

    particles of the medium move parallel to the propagation of the wave
  • Which wave can propagate in a vacuum?
    Electromagnetic wave
  • What type of wave is a light?
    Transverse Wave
  • TRUE or FALSE
    Electromagnetic Wave travels through a vacuum, meanwhile Mechanical Wave travels in a medium = TRUE
  • An electromagnetic wave is produced by an oscillating charged particle
  • The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is always constant
    c = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s
  • c = λf
    c = speed of light (m/s)
  • c = λf
    λ = wavelength (meter)
  • c = λf
    f = frequency (hertz)
  • Gamma Ray to Radio
    the wavelength increases
  • Gamma Ray to Radio
    the frequency decreases
  • Reflection
    a wave behavior where it bounces off a surface after hitting it
  • Law of reflection
    states that 𝜃𝑖 (angle of incidence) = 𝜃𝑟 (angle of reflection) is applied
  • Angle of incidence
    angle between incident ray and normal
  • Angle of reflection
    the angle between the reflected ray and the normal
  • Types of Reflection
    Specular Reflection (smoot surface)
    Diffuse Reflection (rough surface)
  • Refraction
    a wave behavior where a wave bends as it travels from one medium to another
  • The angle of refraction (𝜃2) depends on the material where light is transmitted through
  • Index of Refraction
    a dimensionless number that describes how fast light travels through the material
  • n = c/v
    n = index of refraction (no unit)
    c = speed of light in a vacuum (m/s)
    v = speed of light in a medium (m/s)
