Be sure to review notes from the entire year so far, as the quiz will cover: pendulums, simple harmonic motion, the basics of waves. You will be given any needed equations.
Also:
1. Determine the frequency of a 120 pm x-ray. (pm means picometers, or 10^-12 m)
2. Give the differences between mechanical and electromagnetic waves, citing examples of each. (This is a leftover from the last homework.)
3. If you were designing a grandfather clock to work on Venus, where the gravity is roughly 90% of Earth's, how long should the pendulum be so that the period is 1 second?
4. Waves can be represented with mathematical curves (usually sine graphs). Consider amplitude and frequency for a moment. What real wave characteristics corresponds to these things in a sound wave? How about in a light wave?
Don't forget to review all of the earlier material and homework.
