Question
Answer
Wave Speed   v= λ f  
🗑
Index of Refraction   n = c/v  
🗑
Law of Refraction   n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2  
🗑
Critical Angle   sin θ c = n2/ n1  
🗑
Focal Length   f = r/2  
🗑
Lens and Mirror Equation   1/f = 1/di + 1/do  
🗑
Magnification Equation   M = hi/ ho or M= - di/do  
🗑
Power of a Lens   P = 1/f  
🗑
Constructive Interference for a Double Slits and Diffraction Gratings   d sin θ = mλ m = 1, 2, 3... d= separation of the slits  
🗑
Destructive Interference for a Double Slits and Diffraction Gratings   d sin θ = (m + 1/2) λ m = 1, 2, ,3..  
🗑
Wavelength in a double slit experiment   λ = dx/ mL d= separation of the slits x= position of the fringe at m m= integer ( fringe order) L = Distance from slit to screen  
🗑
Minimum for a single slit   D sin θ = mλ m = 1, 2, 3... D= width of the slit  
🗑
Maximum for a single slit   The largest maximum occurs at m =0 the others occur at the halves  
🗑
Thin Films rule of Phase Change   The light is reflected by a material whose index of refraction is greater than that of the material in which it is traveling the light will change phase by 1/2λ  
🗑
Thin Film of air   2t = mλ m= 1... or 1/2... Depends on where the phase change happens. If the phase change happens to the inner reflected it in on whole numbers. If the phase change happens of the outer layer they will get constructive interference on half number λ  
🗑
Thin Film`   2t = mλ/n m= 1... or 1/2... n= index of refraction  
🗑
Polarizing Angle or Brewster's angle   tan θ = n2/ n1  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
