Unit 10 Studyguide

Here’s a studyguide I made for unit 10 today. All of the questions/topics are conceptual, not mathematical.

Studying Tools

The physics test is tomorrow, and this unit has been quite evil.

Here are all of the self check quizzes:

• 17.1
• 17.2
• 18.1
• 18.2
• 18.3

Here is a great website that review this material differently:

• Physics Classroom
• Pass My Exams

Here’s a quizlet guide for all of the concepts combined.

Refraction Index of Glass Lab

We did a lab just as described: Refraction Index of Glass Lab. It is an individual lab (meaning that you don’t work with others), so if you missed it you can go in for lunch for about ten minutes and finish it up.

Beginning Unit 8

   1. Read Ch. 16 pages 430-447, and 450-451 in the textbook.
   2. Do word-search (locate and define terms)

If you don’t have the online copy of the textbook, you can find a pdf of it right here.

If you’re having trouble on the crossword (and you don’t mind typing), use this solver here.

Chapter 15 Physics Overview

Chapter 15 in my physics textbook is all about sound.

I’ve found that my textbook is usually really good about explaining things, but this time…. it sucked.

Nonetheless, I did my best to write down the most important things to know and completely understand before you take a test on the subject. This includes the Doppler effect, sound waves, harmonics, etc.
