 Aristotle-observed "there are stars seen in Egypt and Cyprus which are not seen in the northerly
regions."
 Eratosthenes-Using the differing angles the shadows made as the basis of his trigonometric
calculations he estimated a circumference of the Earth
 Eliptic Orbit of Planets- astronomical phenomena which is not observe before the advent of the
telescope
 The Varying length of daylight -evidence for the earths axial tilt and changing in seasons
 Tycho Brahe Model- the sun revolves around the earth but all other planets revolve around the
sun.
 Implication of Keplers 2nd Law of Planetary Motion- A planets velocity depends on its position in
its orbit.
 A paper falls on the ground"-is an example of projectile motion
 Objects moving in a straight line at a constant
 speed requires no force to keep them moving”, however, this was contradicted by the
 Aristotelian Concept because:- The moving object will still continue to move unless there will be
an external force.
 projectile motion? -The horizontal and vertical components are independent of each other
 The greatest acceleration of the rolling ball?- when the plane is inclined at 90°
 Galileo's reasoning behind the uniform acceleration of falling objects in a vacuum?- Gravity
exerts the same force on all objects regardless of their masses, resulting in uniform acceleration.
 Inertia-property of matter tends to resist a change in an object’s state of motion
 According to Newton, the object’s resistance changes in its state of motion depending upon its
mass. What does it mean?- The more mass of the object, the greater its tendency to resist
changes in motion.
 explains the difference between Galileo’s assertion of force and Newton’s first law of motion?-
Galileo knew about friction but only used ‘push and pull’ to signify force. It was Newton who
really studied the concept of force and its relation to motion.
 Propagation of light explained- Light consists of both waves and particles, depending on the
medium through which it travels.
 Light refraction-A pencil in a glass of water appears to have an optical illusion in which the pencil
appears to be bent.
 mixing of the colors of light?- blue and yellow crayons are mixed to produce the color green
 A ray of light strikes a polished surface at an angle of 37.0 degrees. -37.0° on the same side of
the normal line
 Darkrooms always use red lighting to allow careful light to pass through so that the
photographic paper will have good results during the printing and processing.- Red light has the
lowest frequency in the visible spectrum. Red light has the lowest energy in the spectrum.
 violet, indigo, blue, yellow, orange, red-colors shows increasing wavelength?
 We get sunburned by UV rays because this type of wave has a greater frequency
 which means they carry more energy than visible light.- difference between ultraviolet rays and
visible light that makes UV rays
 double-slit experiment,- an interference pattern of bright and dark regions
 What happens to the interference pattern in the double-slit experiment when the distance
between the two slits is increased-. The distance between adjacent bright fringes decreases
 What do Interference patterns produced in experiments involving electrons indicate?- Electrons
do not have wave-like and particle-like properties.
 What property of wave is exhibited when light travels on a straight path but when it
hits a dust particulate or a droplet it changes the direction of the light?-Dispersion
 bright outline along the edge of the cloud is the silver lining, which occurs when light is
diffracted by cloud droplets along the cloud's outer edge.
 When two waves are superimposed with destructive interference, they cancel each other out.
Since these two waves are identical, they will completely cancel each other out and there will be
no wave.
 A concave mirror gives the dentist a magnified reflection of the mouth while also refracting a bit
of light. This means the image in the mirror is larger, brighter, and, for the dentist, easier to see.
 A secondary rainbow is caused by a double reflection of sunlight inside the droplet. The “inside”
of the secondary is “up” to the observer and its colors appear reversed compared to the
primary.
 What causes the bending of light in a mirage?- The change in speed of light results in a change
of direction as it passes from cool air to hot air.
 Why does a red laser pass more easily through a red cellophane than a green one?-
he red cellophane absorbs all wavelengths of white light except for the red wavelength.
 Radio wave- communications and data transmissions
 When waves created by the sparks of the coil transmitter were picked up by the receiving
antenna, sparks would jump its gap as well.- Hertz produced a radio pulse from the spark gap of
the transmitter and the receiver?
 Which of the following is true about radio waves?- Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in
the electromagnetic spectrum
 Earth-s not an inertial reference frame
 The main reason that we don't see those relativistic effects every day is because life around us is
moving very, very slowly, compared to the speed of light. Even a jet plane flying at full speed
reaches a mere fraction of light speed, less than a thousandth of a percent.
 42. What is the practical application of Einstein's Theory of Special R elativity?- g lobal
Positioning System
 the accounting of the 43-second arc shift in the orbit of Mercury-is a consequence of the
general theory of relativity?
 Parallax-apparent change in the position of an object due to a c hange in the way it is pcosmic
distance
 cosmic distance ladder?- t is a series of steps that use parallax to determine object distances.
