Physics Revision Set 2

1. A concave mirror is curved inward and converges light rays to a focal point. 2. The closer an object is placed to the mirror, the smaller, virtual, and upright the image will be. Further away, the image is larger, real, and inverted. 3. Water has a high specific heat of vaporization, allowing it to absorb large amounts of heat without reaching its boiling point and releasing heat slowly, keeping things cool for longer.

Concave mirror Steam : Water vapour that vapourises from boiling water

High Specific Latent Heat Capacity, poor conductor


Characteristic Water(27 oC) → Boil (100 oC) → Steam = Q = MƖv + mc θ
1. Curved inward Thermal Equilibrium : No net flow of heat
2. It is a converging mirror, light converges at a point and reflects back Specific Latent Heat Capacity ↑ , release heat/cool air slow
3. Distance of object from mirror ↓ , the image will be Virtual *Upright*Magnified able to keep cool for a longer period
4. Distance of object from mirror ↑ , the image will be Real*Inverted*Diminished poor heat conductor
Good heat insultaor
Definitions
Focal Point, F : A point on the principle axis where all reflected parallel ray meet and Total Internal Reflection
converge Definition : Total reflection that occurs when the incident angle is larger than critical
Focal Length, f : The distance between the object and the surface of the mirror angle
Radius of Curvature, CP : The distance between the center of curvature and the surface Optical Fibre : Total Internal Reflection
of the mirror Very fast (speed of light)
Object Distance, u : The distance between the object and the surface Able to carry many information
Image Distance, v : The distance between the image and the surface Cheap / light /flexible
Critical Angle : When light ray travel between different mediums, at one angle the light
1
will be diffracted 90o from the normal line
n
Impulsive Force Critical Angle (Formula) : sin c **No unit
Definition: Rate of change of momentum
Formula: Unit : .....N Periscope : prism periscope 
**place a convex lens in front of the periscope → to produce clearer and
F = Impulsive force , m = mass , v = final velocity , u = initial velocity , t = time sharper image
Crumble Zone : increase the impact time , reduce the impulse, reduce the damage to
the passenger
(Modification) Skateboard : (etc) ....should be soft → increase impact time /reduce
impulse

Specific Latent Heat of Vaporization
-frequency ↑ , penetrative power↑
v
Definition : Amount of heat needed to change the state of 1kg object from liquid to gas Calculation : t
-energy ↑ , able to go deeper
Formula : Q = MƖv Unit : J kg-1 V = speed of sound
-speed of wave (ultrasonic) ↑ , delay ↓ D = Distance
Q = Heat (J) , M = mass (kg) , Ɩv = Specific Latent Heat of Vapourisation
-wavelength ↑ , easy to be diffracted T = time
