Would switching your home from incandescent to compact fluorescent bulbs be a measure you would take? Why or why not? Explain your answer
What will be an ideal response?
We hope that they will make such a change. To be sure, the initial investment is
high, and some families might be too poor to afford the cost, even though they would
recoup the cost very rapidly. Look for some logic in the students' explanations.

An ac source of period T and maximum voltage V is connected to a single unknown ideal element that is either a resistor, and inductor, or a capacitor
At time t = 0 the voltage is zero. At time t = T/4 the current in the unknown element is equal to zero, and at time t = T/2 the current is I = -Imax, where Imax is the current amplitude. What is the unknown element? A) a resistor B) an inductor C) a capacitor D) an inductor or a capacitor

Snell's Law: A light beam having a wavelength of 470 nm in air is directed into glycerine at an angle of 75.0° with the normal in air. Glycerine has a refractive index of 1.47. (c = 3.0 × 108 m/s)(a) What are the frequency and wavelength of the light in the glycerine?(b) What angle does the light beam make with the normal in the glycerine?
