      Guys, no it's not "enough".
      If you want a good grade, your best is to revise all the topics, do a fk ton of past and practise papers and study the mark schemes... Only then are you likely to get a good grade.
      So, Science Shorts (and I guess; CGB Books, Physics Online, etc) will only get you a third of the way.
      You need to do the past & practise papers to get you familiar with the questions you'll probably be asked and how they want you to ask them, as well as the amount of time to spend on each questions, etc.
      And you need to study the mark schemes because, each exam board is different, e.g; acceleration of gravity is 9.8 ms^-1 for some exam boards and 9.81 ms^-1 for other (and 10 ms^-1 for some math exam boards). Most physics tutorials tend to go for the most common exam boards; Edexcel for Maths, AQA for Sciences so you need to make sure - even though physics is physics, you're answering the questions in a way that the Exam Boards want you to.

    • @keranveermann9418
      @keranveermann9418 3 роки тому +1

      The 90 degrees is the refractive angle, it travels along the boundary. So he used the equation n1sini = n2sinr he subbed in 90 which is r. Sin 90 on your calculator is equal to one so theres no need for it. Anything multiplied by one stays the same. I hope this helps please say if you got this or not.

    • @davidpacker7602
      @davidpacker7602 6 років тому +5

      light can start at the end of the cable at any angle, if it went straight down the middle of the cable it would arrive at the end earlier than light which started wonky and bounced of the sides multiple times meaning it had to travel a longer distance

    What's the difference between multipath, modal and material dispersion? Thanks.

    • @emilytaylor1781
      @emilytaylor1781 4 роки тому +8

      Modal and material dispersion are types of multi path dispersion
      Modal caused by light waves entering the fibre at different angles which causes pulse broadening as rays take diff times to reach the end of the fibre
      Material dispersion is when light wit diff wavelengths are used which means that the light rays will be travelling at diff speeds which also leads to pulse broadening

    At 2:20 you say the light slows down and the frequency increases. That is not correct for going straight through the normal like the picture shows. It does slow down but the frequency stays the same.

    • @emilytaylor1781
      @emilytaylor1781 4 роки тому

      The n1sinθ1=n2sinθ2 is snells law, there’s a whole massive derivation thingy that you don’t need to know for a level, n =1 for air as the we for refractive index is n = c(speed in vacuum)/ speed in medium so for air that’s 3*10^8 / 3*10^8 which is one

    sir I have a question, I did a multiple choice question where it said that a condition for total internal reflection to occur was that the wavelength in medium 2 must be bigger than in medium 1 , why is that?

    • @samtaylor4680
      @samtaylor4680 6 років тому +9

      When light passes into another medium, the frequency always stays the same. For TIR light must pass from a more optically dense to a less optically dense material. higher RI -> lower RI. If the light passes from medium 1 to medium 2, the speed must increase. c=fλ , as f is constant, c is proportional to λ. So if there is to be TIR, light would have to travel faster in medium 2, which in turn means have a bigger wavelength (λ).

    Hi sir,
    I've done an exam question where you had to continue a ray after it hits cladding and it says it hits at the critical angle(2 marks)
    So I did a line at the boundary and got a mark however why is it you need to show reflection as it is not totally internally reflecting is it?
    Thank you.
    Edit: why do you need to show reflection for the second mark.
