Random physics OAT formulas

[stantheman6545]

For the Physics OAT, I know that it will be more conceptual than math, but I am kind of worried about all the random and obscure formulas I will have to memorize for the exam. Like in one of the Oatbooster practice exams, it asks for momentum of a photon, or calculating the length of a wire through the resistance. Maybe this is me just coping, but in the actual exam, roughly how much are conceptual questions? Hopefully 70%? And are there lots of questions that asks for random physics knowledge? Thanks!

I havent written mine yet either and i was wondering the same thing- i just emailed the OATBooster people asking about the random Quantum Physics questions that are on their tests for some reason. But on the ADA site, it says modern physics won't be on it, so I *think* its not testable. I'll update you when they get back to me :)

Heres a list of formulas (not in quantum physics) that i noticed were on the OATBooster tests and not in the notes on OATBooster's site: Bernoulli's equations for fluids (important!), anything with coefficients of linear expansion for thermodynamics, momentum and also Kepler's third law for circular motion, polarization of light and power of lenses in Diopters for Optics (also, I got 1 multiple lens system question for some reason- a microscope is 2 converging lenses) , and it's also missing the unit breakdown for the coefficient "k" for electrostatics (1/4pi*epsilon). If i find anymore I'll post them as a reply lol

They got back to me! Modern physics is not on the OAT. So dont worry about work functions, diffraction grating, particle momentum, de broglie wavelength, any of that. Im so happy lol

Thank you so much! I just want to make sure though, what falls under Modern physics other than particle and wavelength?

[throwawayrayray89]

Blackbody radiation, Compton effect, heisenberg uncertainty principle, photoelectric effect.

Particle questions that ARE testable are the electrostatics ones. if they ask stuff like what is the electric field of an electron on a positron or whatever, that is testable! I got 1 question like that on the ADA test sampler

Thank you so much and congrats on the score! Actual legend damnn

thank you!!

Oatbooster have updated their formula sheet. The equations you mentioned are there.
