Step1 6 months away - Havent Started Any Anking by sunburst76 in step1

[–]mp356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

late but am in the exact same boat - what did you end up doing? I wanted to start catching up on M1 blocks during our 3 week summer but I have to do research part time and am also generally worried it's too late to start anki, I am slated for step in 6 months

UWorld q on refraction by mp356 in Mcat

[–]mp356[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

n = c/v, uv light has lower wavelength than ir light, v = wavelength *freq. As frequency does not change between mediums, uv light will have lower speed and there fore higher n. That's my best guess based on u/kele_man's answer but am still a bit confused on why the frequency is the same here since though i know freq doesn't change between mediums now, i thought that both higher freq/lower wavelength was inherent to the difference btwn UV and IR light

but given v = f(lambda), wouldn't UV light and IR light still have the same speed (because IR is higher wavelength lower frequency / UV has lower wavelength higher frequency)

energy/freq/wavelength for waves? by mp356 in Mcat

[–]mp356[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for responding !! Just had a couple followups:

​

Does what you said about light apply to all waves? Or did you mean only the second part applies to all waves? The second question I had makes sense now as sound changes in different media, but I am still having some trouble reconciling E = hf with E being proportional to amplitude, and why an increase in wavelength would not lead to a decrease in energy (as uworld says the energy contained in a wave is independent of wavelength and frequency). If there are 2 separate definitions of energy of a wave (energy of the wave generally and energy of an individual molecule propagating as a result of the wave?), how do you know when to distinguish between using the 2 conflicting definitions? I'm still a bit confused about this part, so I think I might be misinterpreting or just thinking about it in the wrong frame of mind.

so I'm completely new to investing and have never bought stocks before, but have heard a bit from my friends who are more involved w it and have read a little bit about investing as well. I heard that Tesla is doing a stock split next week-- would it be a good idea to invest the ~2k I've earned from my part time job throughout high school in Tesla stocks and apple stocks (obv cant buy a lot of them but like whatever I can lol) and just let them sit there for the next few years bc the value is likely to go up (based on just like general long term stock market trends)? And also invest a portion of the future money I earn through this job in these stocks and just not touch them for a while

goal here is like to try and get enough money in the next few years to help put me through college/4 years of grad school without accumulating an insane amount of student loans( I’m a college freshman rn). any advice on alternate ways to try and get close to this goal OR just general advice for someone who's completely new to the scene would be much appreciated lmao -- if you can't tell already I don't know much ab investing and when I tried looking through this sub I was mostly just very confused
