Physics Unit 2

?
What is the density of a material?
Substances mass per unit volume
1 of 12
What is elasticity?
Solid that can regain shape after being deformed or distorted
2 of 12
What is meant by tensile?
deformation that stretches
3 of 12
What is meant by Compressive?
Deformation that compresses
4 of 12
Why do diamonds sparkle?
Split white light into colour spectrum; high refractive index; light ray reflected many times before emerging
5 of 12
Why is the core narrow in optical fibres?
Narrow to prevent multipath dispersion
6 of 12
What is the cladding used for?
To prevent damage to the optical fibre and because TIR takes place at cladding boundary
7 of 12
Why does refraction occur?
different speed of light in each substance
8 of 12
What is Newtons fist law?
Objects either stay at rest or remain in uniform motion unless acted upon by a force
9 of 12
What is Newtons 2nd law?
resultant force = mass x acceleration
10 of 12
What is power?
rate of energy transfer
11 of 12
What is efficiency?
amount of useful energy produced
