Waves, light and sound
1 Wave equation 1 v is the speed of wave in m/s f is the frequency in Hz λ is the wavelength in meters 2 Wave equation 2 T is the time period of wave in seconds 3 Movement of the particles of the medium Longitudinal waves=> back and forth in the direction of the...
Thermal Physics:
1 Pressure and volume relationship (Boyle’s law) p1 and p2 are the two pressures in Pa and V1 and V2 are the two volumes in m3 2 Thermal Expansion (Linear) 3 Thermal Expansion (Cubical) 4...
General Physics:
1 For constant motion: ‘v’ is the velocity in m/s, ‘s’ is the distance or displacement in meters and ‘t’ is the time in seconds 2 For acceleration ‘a’ u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity and t is the time. 3 Graph Area...
