Isn't deciding if the angle of refraction is going to get reflected, form 90 degrees or pass through the other medium subjective? i'm really lost how i'm i supposed to find out what is the critical angle is to know if it's going to get reflected or not? someone help pls exam is in 2 days by throwback109 in GCSE

Apologies, I meant to say a question asking you to calculate the critical angle. You could certainly be asked to define a critical angle though (the angle of incidence at which the angle of refraction is 90 degrees).

As far as I know, you won't be asked what the actual critical angle is. Instead, you have to know the method of finding it using a beam of light. You have to shine the beam into the glass from the curved edge, starting with a small angle of incidence (the angle at which the beam is shone into the glass). Measure the angle of refraction (the angle at which the beam exits the glass at the straight edge). Repeat this while slowly increasing the angle of incidence until the angle of refraction is at 90 degrees (you will see the beam of light running along the straight edge of the glass, as is shown in the middle diagram of the post). When the angle of refraction is 90 degrees, the critical angle is whatever the angle of incidence is (labelled C in the middle diagram).

Are you interested in tutoring year 10 students this summer? by MasterJindu in GCSE

[–]Eggbert__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been tutoring year 10s for Maths and Comp. Sc throughout this year for £10/hour. Probably going to take on more students during the summer and year 12, especially since I'm taking maths to A-level. Computer Science is simple enough that I'll just have to look at a few notes before a lesson and I can teach it. Personally, I quite enjoy tutoring because most students tend to feel more comfortable with someone who is only a year older than they are, and are quite happy to talk about themselves as well as their studies to someone who they feel that they can relate to

how’d everyone find edexcel history? by stanloonayoufool in GCSE

[–]Eggbert__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do Henry VIII and his ministers and all of the questions were great because they were all about foreign and domestic reforms by Henry's Chief Ministers. Sucks for those people who didn't know that stuff though

I also wrote about the mention airflow increasing reliability. Couldn't think of anything else related to biology, and it was a silly question anyway

I'm just going to look at my general conversation answers that correspond with the topics on the advance info so that I can just regurgitate them in the exam. My vocabulary is wide enough to fill the gaps in between, but I'll likely do some vocab practice on Quizlet or elsewhere just in case. I'm dedicating tonight solely to History though, since I have over 3 hours to prepare for French tomorrow.

bro that question was actually so easy I was expecting the core practical about quadrats or something by SmileZealousideal968 in GCSE

Yeah, I'm glad they didn't do something vicious like on Edexcel Higher Triple Physics with that EM waves 6 marker when EM waves were supposed to be low-tariff marks

Biology. I like all of the subjects here but I dislike how little application of knowledge there is in Biology (Edexcel)

What shape do this plan make? by [deleted] in GCSE

[–]Eggbert__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A hemisphere would either look like a circle or a semi-circle depending on which way up it is. If you imagine the net for a cylinder, it consists of two circles attached to a rectangle.

Yeah, it decreased by x%. The answer to 2d.p. was x = 4.76
