1. lenses

   • A lens is transparent block that causes light to refract (changes the direction the light travels in). A converging lens (or convex lens) is curved on both sides. This means the light rays coming out of it come together at a point – they converge.

2. waves..and eletromagnet spectrum

   • what are waves?
     • Waves are vibrations that transfer energy from place to place without matter - solid, liquid or gas
   • longitudinal waves
     • vibrations are along the SAME direction as the wave is travelling
   • transverse waves
     • the vibrations are at 90 degrees to the direction of travel of wave
   • How fast do waves travel? The speed of a wave - its wave speed - is related to its frequency and wavelength, according to this equation:
     • wave speed (metre per second) = frequency (hertz) × wavelength (metre
   • ELECTROMAGNET
     • Hazards of electromagnetic radiation
       • microwaves cause internal heating of body tissues
       • infrared radiation is felt as heat and causes skin burns
       • X-rays damage cells, causing mutations (which may lead to cancer) and cell death
       • gamma rays also damage cells, causing mutations (which may lead to cancer) and cell death.
