Some Topics of Physics

According to me, these are some of the important stuff that you need to know about the topic Light and I am pretty sure that this page is really going to help you.
So let's  go!

1. Ray of Light : A line drawn in the direction of propagation of light is called a ray of light.
2. Beam of Light : A group of rays of light emitted by a source of light is called a beam of light. A light beam is of three types.
(i) Parallel beam : A group of light rays parallel to each other is known as parallel beam of light. 7.
(ii) Divergent beam : A group of light rays spreading out from a source of light is called divergent beam of light.
(iii) Convergent beam : A group of light rays meeting at a point is called convergent beam 8. of light.
3. Reflection of Light : There are some surfaces which have ability to send the light back in the same medium when light strikes it. This 9. phenomena of sending the light back in the same medium by a surface is called reflection of light.
(i) The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal at the point of incidence, all lie in a same plane.
(ii) The angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection, ∠i = ∠r.
4. Image : When light rays meet or appear to meet after reflection from a mirror,then it is called an image.
1. Real Image : It is a kind of image which is formed by actual intersection of light rays after reflection.
2. Virtual Image : It is a kind of image which is formed by producing the reflected rays backward after reflection.
5. Plane Mirror : Plane mirror is a piece of glass whose one side is polished by using silver paint, which is covered by a coating of red paint to protect the silver layer.

Limitations of Mendeleev's Periodic Table

Mendeleev arranged 63 elements known at that time in the periodic table. According to Mendeleev “the properties of the elements are a periodic function of their atomic masses.” The table consists of eight vertical column called ‘groups’ and horizontal rows called ‘periods’ Limitations of mendeleev’s classification : (i) He could not assign a correct position of hydrogen in his periodic table, as the properties of hydrogen resembles both with alkali metals as well as with halogens. (ii) The isotopes of the same element will be given different position if atomic number is taken as basis, which will disturb the symmetry of the periodic table. (iii) The atomic masses do not increases in a regular manner in going from one elements to the next. So it was not possible to predict how many elements could be discovered between two elements.

Statistics Formulas and Important Points

Mean Deviation=Sum of Deviations by Number of observations The Deviation here means the difference of the observations from any of the central tendencies. But mostly we take the Deviation from Mean or Median but not from Mode. Before we see more formulas we should see that the need for Mean Deviation is to get more accurate quantity to relate different quantities. Here are the steps for finding Mean Deviation: (a.) MD for Ungrouped Data We derive the desired Central Tendencies. We find the value of mod(x-a) for all x. We use the formula for calculating MD: (b.) MD for Grouped Data Types of Grouped Data Discrete Frequency Distribution Continuous Frequency Distribution   Discrete Frequency Distribution We find the desired Central Tendency by the formulas of basic Statistics. We find the value of mod(x-a) for all frequency and observations. We find the value of f×mod(x-a) for all frequency and observations. We find MD by this formula: For Central...
