Advanced Higher revision
We’ll complete the course by the end of this week and that means you need to start consolidating all the material we have covered over the year. To help you get underway I have grabbed some AH revision materials in pdf format and am in the process of putting together a series of podcasts with pdf attachments – remember how much you complained that the Higher class were getting stuff on iTunes and you weren’t?
The first set of notes covers circular motion.

Photoelectric effect animation
I found an useful simulation of the photoelectric effect here. You can change the metal under investigation (we used Zinc in class). You can also vary the wavelength and irradiance of the light. Notice that below the theshold frequency you can’t get any photoelectrons, even if you set the light to its brightest setting.
