November 2008 SAT Subject Test: Physics

<p>reflection most definitely occurs
interference is a result of out-of-phase waves being reflected</p>

<p>and yea for the mirror, as you move it farther and farther away you should see less cuz your angle of incident for reflection is going to get smaller and smaller</p>

<p>for the last few...</p>

<h1>73 i dont remember the question</h1>

<h1>74 i only remember that the completely inelastic collision should lose mechanical energy</h1>

<h1>75 i remember being straightforward</h1>

<p>the last five questions were almost a blur.
so was the mirror just I and II?</p>

<p>can anyone compile a list with correct ansers??
and what do u think about the curve??-10=800??</p>

<p>nazz #74 completely inelastic you lose kinetic energy to heat.</p>

<p>"reflection most definitely occurs
interference is a result of out-of-phase waves being reflected"</p>

<p>Is this the question which asked which light phenomenon did not contribute to the light and dark bands (with a picture of a thin film with glass underneath)?</p>

<p>Reflection does not cause interference.. Diffraction does.. Reflected rays don't even enter the medium.</p>

<p>Anyone know the answer to the prism with light entering through it? I didn't get the wording for that one, did deflected = refracted or reflected?</p>

<p>uhm diffraction causes interference when you have slits...</p>

<p>might wanna have a read at thin film interference
Thin-film</a> interference</p>

<h1>74 oh ya crap eh =/ was that d or e?</h1>

<p>edit: nvm</p>

<p>10 char</p>

<p>my answer was one of the deflect ones. stay as one beam or soemthing</p>

<p>for visible light entering a prism, light is dispersed such that violet light is refracted more than red light due to differences in indices of refraction.
cmon, haven't you ever seen the pink floyd logo?</p>

<p>what about the one with the light shining upon the wet road?</p>

<p>"for visible light entering a prism, light is dispersed such that violet light is refracted more than red light due to differences in indices of refraction.
cmon, haven't you ever seen the pink floyd logo?"</p>

<p>The question stated that the material was designed such that every frequency of light moves through the prism at the same rate, meaning the indices of refraction are the same .</p>

<p>OHHHH ****KKKKKKKKKKKKKK
lol but thnk god you can get 10 wrong!</p>

<p>I think I got right all the questions discussed here</p>

<p>I think that the road appears blacker as light is reflected more smoothly and wen it is not wet then it is reflected in all directions</p>

<p>I thought this test had a lot of odd questions, most of which I didn't cover when I was prepping :/ (I took phys b last year and phys c this year so I couldn't remember the material either for most of the wave questions and the electroscope).</p>

<p>(relating to above post) That was exactly my problem. I'm just hoping that the ones that I thought I got correct outweigh those odd ones...</p>

<p>you like it?</p>

<p>NERD!</p>

<p>Lol...jk</p>

<p>I'm wondering the same thing. According to the Official SAT Subject Test Physics scale (in the practice book), a raw score of 59 can give you an 800.</p>

<p>How do you think November's test measured up against the one in the book?</p>

<p>75 - 59 -- 800
A 45 gets you a 700. Not sure if that's worth anything in terms of help.</p>

<p>i doubt a raw of 59 can get you an 800, even on this one. But then who knows..., anyone that did oct. physics care to elaborate? man i do wish the curve to be generous though, so many weird questions in this test</p>

<p>I thought the October one was much easier. And I have no idea of raw score in regards to score.</p>
