  1. 1Single-slit diffraction gives proof that light isa wave phenomeon
  2. 2Some crystalline solids have a different index of refrraction for light of different polarizations. This phenomenon is calleddouble refraction
  3. 3The angle through which the plane of polarization is rotated is frequently a function of wavelength. this effect is known asrotary dispersion

  5. 5The distance from the surface of a lens to the point where parallen rays intersect is known as thefocal length
  6. 6After parallen rays pass through a lens, the position on the axis where they intersect is known as thefocal point
  7. 7The relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction is given bySnell's Law
  8. 8Shen calculatinv the solution to an image problem analytically, the sign of the magnification tells us whether the image isupright ori nverted
  9. 9When calculating the solution to an image problem analytically, the absolute value of the magnitude of the magnification tells us whether the imageis enlarged or reduced
  10. 10When calculating the solution to an image problem analytically, the sign of the image distance tells us whether the imageis real or virtual
  11. 11In order to reduce the possibility of eye fatigue, an optical instrument should be designed so that the eyepiece produces an imageat infinity

  33. 33Equipotential surfaces are alwaysperpendicular to the electric field lines
  34. 34Gauss' Law says that the total eelectric flux which passes through a closed surface of arbirtrary shape isproportional to the enclosed charge
  35. 35Gauss' Law says that the total electric flus which passes through an open surface of arbitrary shape isGauss' Law does not apply to open surfaces
  36. 36For many materials, increasing the temperature of the material causes the resistance toincrease

  39. 39The time constant of a capacitave circuit is directly proportional to the capaitance and theresistance
  40. 40An electric current flows east. If there is a magnetic field pointed straight down, what is the direction of the force on the current carrying conductor?north
  41. 41What can be said about the magnitude of the net force on a magnetic dipole placed in a uniform magnetic field?it is zero
  42. 42When viewing electric field lines, we know that the strength of the electric field at any given point isInversely proportional to the space between lines
  43. 43You are looking straight at the end of a conductor which is carrying an electric current directly toward you. What is the direction of the magnetic field produced by this current?counter-clockwise
  44. 44You are looking straigth down on a current loop which lies in a horizontal plane and carries a clockwise current. The magnetic field at the center of the loop pointsdown
  45. 45A circular loo of wire lies in the plane of the page. There is a magnetic field pointed out of the page and the strength of the magnetic field is increasing. the induced currentflows clockwise around the loop
  46. 46A coil of wire carries a current which produces a magnetic field. If the current is changing then the magnetic field changes and an opposing emp is induced in the coil. The ratio of the induced emp to the rate at which the current changes is known asinductance
  47. 47An AC voltage is applied to a circuit element and it is found that the current leads the voltage by 90degrees. The circuit element is a(n)capacitor
