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

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

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)
