A particular particle has a life expectancy of 0.15 secs before it will decay. If a scientist in a lab
measures the life span of one of these particles while moving at a speed of 2.5x10^8 m/s, what
life span will the scientist observe? - ANSWER=0.27
An observer measures the L, W, and h of a box while stationary relative to the box. The observer
then travels at near light speeds parallel to the length of the box. If the observer measures the L
of the box while moving, the measure value is... - ANSWER=Less than L
When mass travels at near light speeds, the classic definition of momentum (p = mv) cannot be
used to approximate true momentum. Which of the following best explains this? -
ANSWER=Momentum and velocity do not have a linear relationship.
which of the following waves can't be polarized? - ANSWER=sound waves
What did scientists use near-blackbody objects for in the late 19th century? - ANSWER=To study
the relationship between light, temp, and matter
What did Max Planck propose about the energy of atomic oscillators? - ANSWER=It must be
quantized and directly proportional to frequency
,2|Page
What did Einstein propose about the nature of light to explain the photoelectric effect? -
ANSWER=Light consists of discrete packets of energy called photons
What evidence suggest that light exhibits particle behavior? - ANSWER=light waves have
quantized energy in the photoelectric effect
Why are the effects of photon hitting a wall not noticeable - ANSWER=because photo shave
incredibly small momentum values
Who proposed the idea that matter also exhibits a dual wave and particle nature -
ANSWER=Louis-Victor De Broglie
What was tested to confirm De Broglie's Hypothesis regarding matter waves? -
ANSWER=Electron interference at double slits
What was the significance of the interference patter observed in the double slit experiment
with electrons? - ANSWER=It demonstrated wave-like behavior of matter
What is the uncertainty principle proposed by Werner Heisenberg? - ANSWER=It suggests that
th position and momentum of a particle cannot be measured simultaneously with absolute
precision
Who disproved the "plum pudding" model of the atom? - ANSWER=Ernest Rutherford, with his
gold foil apparatus

When an iron bar is moved through a uniform magnetic field, what happens to the charge
carriers within the bar? - ANSWER=Negative charge carriers move relatively freely while the
positive charge carriers do not
How does the induced EMF in a conductor moving through a magnetic field affect charge
distribution? - ANSWER=It increases the charge separation
How is flux defined in the context of magnetic fields? - ANSWER=The measure of the number of
magnetic field lines passing through a given area
What doe Lenz's Law state regarding the direction of induced current? - ANSWER=The induced
current flows in the opposite direction of the changing flux
What does Faraday's Law state regarding the relationship between induced EMF and the rate
change of flux - ANSWER=The induced EMF is directly proportional to the rate of change of flux
According to Faraday's law, what happens to the direction of the induced EMF with respect to
the change in flux? - ANSWER=It is opposite to the change in flux
In the context of Faraday's law, what does the negative sign in the equation signify? -
ANSWER=It signifies the direction of the induced EMF

What is the magnitude of the induced EMF across a metal bar (32cm) moved through a 0.30 T
magnetic field and 23m/s? - ANSWER=Example work: BLvcos() = (0.30T)(0.32m)(23m/s) = 2,208
= 2.2V
What is the fundamental difference between motors and generators? - ANSWER=Motors
convert electric energy into work, while generators convert work into electric energy.
According to Faraday's law, what induces an EMF in a generator? - ANSWER=Change in the
angle between the loop and the magnetic field
According to. Faraday's law, what induces an EMF in a motor? - ANSWER=Change in number of
loops
Alimentary canal - ANSWER=mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large
intestine
Accessory digestive organs - ANSWER=teeth, tongue, gallbladder, salivary glands, liver, pancreas
How many teeth do human adults have? - ANSWER=32
What teeth are most effective in chewing? - ANSWER=molars
Mastication - ANSWER=chewing
