Impulse = F Δt = Δp (change in momentum). Derived from Newton's second law. Force is rate of change of momentum. Impulse-momentum theorem important for collisions.
Explanation:
Radiation does not require medium; it travels via electromagnetic waves. Conduction needs medium for molecular collisions, convection needs fluid motion. Sun's heat reaches Earth by radiation through vacuum of space.
Explanation:
For spherical mirrors (concave or convex), focal length f = R/2, where R is radius of curvature. This holds under paraxial approximation (small angles). Derivation uses geometry of reflection and small-angle approximations. Memory tip: 'Mirror: f = R/2; Lens: 1/f = (n-1)(1/R₁ - 1/R₂)'. This fundamental relation is frequently tested in optics sections of competitive exams. Always note sign conventions: f negative for convex mirrors, positive for concave; R follows same sign as f.
