| For Modern, know:
Mass/Energy Equivalence: E = mc^2
Relativistic Factor: (1 - v^2/c^2)^1/2
Energy of a photon: E = hf or vh/wavelength
KE for Photoelectric Effect: KE = E - Work Function
Also, since the CB book said Chaos Theory and Superconductivity might be tested, here are the basic points of both:
-Superconductivity: When the conductor has NO resistance and NO interior magnetic field. This often occurs in supercooled metals. This is how you can get a magnet to hover over a current-carrying superconductor.
-Chaos Theory: Basically, the idea of Chaos theory is that it is impossible to make long-term predictions of a system, because it is impossible to make infinitely precise measurements of the system. (In order to make infinitely precise measurements, you'd have to have a measurement machine that had an interface that could display an infinite number of digits). Also, the degree of accuracy of measurements and input used when calculating long-term effects of a system makes no difference to the accuracy of the prediction. Key term - Butterfly effect - the idea that the flap of a butterfly's wings can start the disturbances that build into a tornado. |
