Normal

The video tutorial explains the concept of 'normal' in physics, defining it as a line perpendicular to a surface. It highlights its application in the study of light, particularly in understanding how light rays are refracted or reflected when they encounter different materials.

What is the 'normal' in the context of physics?

• A line parallel to a surface

• A line at a 45-degree angle to a surface

• A line perpendicular to a surface

• A line that bisects a surface

In which field of study is the concept of 'normal' particularly useful?

• Electromagnetism

• Quantum Mechanics

• Study of Light

• Thermodynamics

How is the normal used in the study of light?

• To determine the color of light

• To measure the speed of light

• To calculate the wavelength of light

• To compare the angle of refraction or reflection

What does the normal help to compare in the context of light interaction with materials?

• The angle of refraction or reflection

• The intensity of light

• The angle of incidence

• The frequency of light

Which of the following is NOT a use of the normal in physics?

• Determining the angle of refraction

• Comparing angles in light studies

• Measuring the speed of sound

• Calculating the angle of reflection
