Magnetism

Today class was fun, I think . haha just kidding.  Well, first thing we did were the corrections for our last test.  Afterwards we went over the two worksheets we got yesterday which were the magnetism sheet and the study guide, "24.1 magnets: permanent and temporary".  Once we were done those we were given 2 more sheets which were the magnetic fields, the earth's magnetic field and a booklet, 2.3 Ferromagnetism and the Domain Theory of Magnetism.  In the booklet, we did questions 1-4 together.  If you want them, they should be here somewhere on the front page.

If you do not have any of these sheets yet, you should get them as soon as possible. (=

P.S. Do not forget to ask Ms. Kozoriz for your exam review sheets.  This will help you a lot when it comes to your exam!

Today in physics we corrected our test from last unit and all the answers should be or are on the blog.  Afterward, we were given a worksheet, which was a chart for evaluating the models of light.  If you don't have the sheet yet, you should get it right away from Mrs. Kozoriz.  So on the sheet we learned the meanings of:

rectilinear propagation: travel in straight lines

reflection: just look into a mirror

refraction: the bending of a particle entering a new medium

dispersion: light is refracted to form colours of the spectrum

diffraction: the bending of a wave around a barrier or through an opening

partial reflection/refraction

And speed of light .. again.

For each of these phenomenon we came up with supporting arguments and counter-arguments.  All of this information should be on the blogger as well.

Lastly, we were given the Part 2 Wave and Particle Models of Light Problems booklet.  We were assigned to do questions 1, 3 and 4.  They shouldn't be that difficult .. i think.  And that's pretty much it!  :D
