SUMMARY

The discussion centers on three key physics equations: C=f(λ), n=c/v, and n1sin(θ1) = n2sin(θ2), which relate to wave properties and Snell's Law. The user seeks resources to test their understanding of these equations due to inadequate textbook support. Several online resources, including Wikipedia and HyperPhysics, are recommended for practice problems and explanations. Utilizing these resources will enhance mastery of the equations in preparation for the upcoming test.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of wave properties and equations
  • Familiarity with Snell's Law and its applications
  • Basic knowledge of physics problem-solving techniques
  • Access to online educational resources for physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Snell's Law through the provided Wikipedia link
  • Practice problems on refraction from Glenbrook's website
  • Utilize the Java applet from Northwestern University for visual understanding
  • Review additional examples on HyperPhysics for comprehensive learning
USEFUL FOR

Students preparing for physics exams, educators seeking teaching resources, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of wave behavior and refraction principles.

Having a test tomorrow, and we are suppose to have these three equations down.

Is there any sites where I can test my knowledge of these equations, cause I have no way to see if I have it down or not, since my textbook isn't that helpful.

I just need a site that gives me all these questions regarding the three equations!

Any help would be appreciated!

I assume that there are problems in your textbook. While the text may not be much help, the problems in it are probably the best way to test your mastery of these three equations. Solve some of the problems with answers in the back that involve these equations. If you get them right, you should be good. If you get them wrong, you can see where you are still weak.
 
It looks like one is describing Snell's Law, which one could find online, but I am not sure about homework problems.

Here is an explanation -
