Question
Answer
show A spectrum produced by light passing through a gas, which has dark lines where the gas has absorbed light, characteristic of the elements in the gas.  
🗑
show is the maximum displacement from the centre of an oscillation  
🗑
Diffraction   show
🗑
displacement   show
🗑
Electromagnetic spectrum   show
🗑
show Atom with one or more electrons raised above their ground state positions  
🗑
show Energy require to raise an electron to a position above its ground state  
🗑
show Energy transferred to an electron when it is accelerated through a potential of 1V: equivalent to 1.6 x10-19 J  
🗑
show A line spectrum emitted by a hot gas which is characteristic of the elements it contains. (Coloured lines on a black background)  
🗑
Electromagnetic wave   show
🗑
Energy flux/ intensity   show
🗑
show Where resultant force on the oscillating body is zero  
🗑
Frequency   show
🗑
Ground state   show
🗑
Interference   show
🗑
show When an electron is completely freed from an atom leaving behind a positive ion.  
🗑
show Energy required to free an electron from the ground state of an atom.  
🗑
Longitudinal waves   show
🗑
show The frequency at which a free standing system oscillates after it has been displaced and then released  
🗑
show A point on a stationary wave where the displacement is always zero  
🗑
Out of phase   show
🗑
Period   show
🗑
In Phase   show
🗑
show between two points in an oscillation is a measure of what fraction of a complete oscillation has been completed between the two points  
🗑
Photon   show
🗑
Photoelectric effect   show
🗑
show Vibrations are confined to a single plane perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation  
🗑
Principle of Superposition   show
🗑
Progressive waves   show
🗑
Quantum   show
🗑
Saturation   show
🗑
Stationary waves   show
🗑
show Voltage across a photocell that is just sufficient to stop photoelectrons with the maximum amount of KE reaching the receiving electrode.  
🗑
show Minimum frequency that will cause photoemission from a material  
🗑
Transverse waves   show
🗑
show Rate of change of displacement  
🗑
show Vibrations occur in a large number of planes perpendicular to the direction to energy propagation.  
🗑
Wavefront   show
🗑
Wavelength   show
🗑
Work function   show
🗑
Charge   show
🗑
Current   show
🗑
show No charge is lost in a circuit or at any junction in a circuit.This is a consequent of Kirchoff’s first law.  
🗑
show Sum of the current entering a junction = sum of the currents leaving a junction  
🗑
Drift speed   show
🗑
Electrical potential difference   show
🗑
Emf of a cell   show
🗑
show Work done = Energy transfer.(This is when charge is pushed)  
🗑
Resistance   show
🗑
Resistivity   show
🗑
Power dissipation   show
🗑
show A point on a stationary wave that oscillates with the maximum amplitude  
🗑
show If sources of wave are coherent there must be a constant phase difference between them and therefore they must have the same frequency. They must have also approximately the same amplitude  
🗑
Continuous spectrum   show
🗑
cycle   show
🗑
show Electrons have a wavelength associated with them with is dependent on the momentum of the particle  
🗑
show Circuit e.m.f. = ΣIR.This come from Kirchoff’s second law-Around any closed loop, the sum of the e.m.f.s is equal to the sum of the p.d.s.  
🗑
show This is the resistance to the flow of current inside the power supply itself.  
🗑
show The current passes through one component , then through the next and then through the next. The current is the same at all points in the circuit. The voltage is split between the components VT = V1 +V2  
🗑
Parallel circuits   show
🗑
Thermistor   show
🗑
Light dependent resistor   show
🗑
show The current flowing through a metal is directly proportional to the potential difference across it providing the temperature remains constant.  
🗑
