BEHAVIORAL OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to understand and answer the following questions:
- A radio station transmits at a frequency of 1200KHZ. What is the wavelength of the radio wave? (c = 3.0 x 108ms-1).
- Give three similarities of electromagnetic waves. Mention two distinguishing properties of infra-red and ultraviolet rays.
- State two properties that distinguish light waves and radio waves
- Mention and describe two important uses of x-rays
- (a) What is radar? (b) What type of electromagnetic radiation does it use? (c) How does it function?
- Name five uses of electromagnetic radiations
- State Newton’s law of universal gravitation and give the mathematical relation
- Calculate the gravitational potential at a point on the Earth surface. Mass of earth is 6.0x 10 24/kg, radius of earth = 6400km and G = 6.67×10 -11Nm2kg-2
- Calculate the escape velocity of a satellite from the earth’s gravitational field (g = 9.8m/s2, R = 6.4 x 10 6m)
- What is escape velocity?
- What is electrolysis? Mention at least two uses of electrolysis
- What is an electrolyte?
- State Faraday’s laws of electrolysis
- A current of 3A maintained for 50 minutes deposits 3.048g of zinc at the cathode. Determine the electrochemical equivalent of zinc.
The above are what is expected of a SS3 student to know and be able to understand with ease. The SS3 Physics first term lesson note here is aided with images so it makes it easier not just for the students but for the teachers too.
