Taking the plunge podcast

Please listen to the podcast about the defenestration of cats and be prepared to discuss the physics of the story.


Note, I encourage you to listen to the entire broadcast because it is so good, but I will quiz you only on the first section on cats , which lasts 9 minutes or so

Human with wings flies and survives

Her is a video about people free falling off cliffs with wing suits and surviving

Stomp rocket Height LAb

Here is the link to the stomp rocket height lab. You will need to record data on something during the lab so plan ahead. The lab is not printed on paper. Also, This will be submitted in Google Docs format so remember to take at least one digital picture of our setup

CP Physics Test Concepts for Light and Reflection

Light and Reflection Test Concepts

1. Table 1 applications pg 447 Ex. Which portion of the electromagnetic Spectrum is used in medical examination of bones?



2. Find Frequency given Wavelength using speed of Light, including use of prefixes like Mega and Giga, etc



3. Find Wavelength given Frequency using speed of light including prefixes



4. Commonality of EM spectrum in a vacuum regarding speed



5. Difference in colors of light regarding wavelength and frequency

Ex. What is different about red and blue light?



6. Distance v Light intensity relationship and applications
Ex How much light is available if we Triple the Distance from the source?



7. Finding angles of reflected rays from a plane mirror measured from horizontal and normal surfaces

8. Image and Object and Distance and Height for flat mirrors


9. Image and object Distance and radius of curvature for concave mirrors
Ex Know how to solve mirror and magnification equations

10. Focal length Radius of curvature relationship

11. Drawing ray diagrams of concave mirrors for cases 2-6 pg 460

12. Primary additive colors (Light)

13. Primary Subtractive Colors (Pigment)

14. Polarization of light
