well if we ALL do badly in our exams all the points for courses will have to come down! ....right? 😁

For the physics kids @LCPhysicsDef , another account to make procrastinating somewhat educational 👍


Longitudinal wave: A wave whose direction of vibration is parallel to the direction the wave is travelling.


Lever: A rigid body which is free to rotate about a fixed point called a fulcrum.


Kinetic energy: The energy a body possess by virtue of its motion.


Joule’s Law: The heat power loss in a circuit is directly proportional to the square of the current flowing.


Isotope: Atoms of that same element that have different mass numbers. They have different amounts of neutrons.


Interference: The addition or combination of waves, it can be either destructive or constructive.


Heat: Energy transfer from one place to another due to a temperature difference.


Harmonic: A wave whose vibration is a whole multiple of the fundamental frequency.


Half life: The time taken for half of the undecayed atoms undergo a decay in a radioactive isotope.


Fundamental frequency: The lowest possible vibration of a stationary wave.


Friction: The force that opposes the sliding of surfaces in contact.


Frequency: The number of oscillations or cycles passing a point per second.


Forward bias: When a diode is connected to a battery so that current flows.


Force: Anything that causes the velocity of an object to change.


Focal Length: The distance for the focal point to the mirror.
