I think its B because classical physics describes light as waves

Classical physics considered light to behave as a wave in all environments; it had a set amplitude, frequency etc. The problem was that this meant that there was a continuous variation in its properties, hence if the amplitude of the light was incresed by a bit, a phenomenon like the phhotoelectric one would become only marginally more apparent. However, in this case, there is a cutoff point which means that the only-wave theory had to be wrong.

Complete question:

A 200 g load attached to a horizontal spring moves in simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.410 s. The total mechanical energy of the spring–load system is 2.00 J. Find

(a) the force constant of the spring and (b) the amplitude of the motion.

Answer:

(a) the force constant of the spring = 47 N/m

(b) the amplitude of the motion = 0.292 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the spring, m = 200g = 0.2 kg

period of oscillation, T = 0.410 s

total mechanical energy of the spring, E = 2 J

The angular speed is calculated as follows;

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} \\\\\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.41} \\\\\omega = 15.33 \ rad/s$

(a) the force constant of the spring

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\\\k = m \omega^2\\\\k = (0.2)(15.33)^2\\\\k = 47 \ N/m$

(b) the amplitude of the motion

E = ¹/₂kA²

2E = kA²

A² = 2E/k

$A = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{k} } \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 2}{47} }\\\\A = 0.292 \ m$

Kryger [21]

Answer:

dT(t)/dt = k[T5 - T(t)]

Explanation:

Since T(t) represents the temperature of the object and T5 represents the temperature of the surroundings, according to Newton's law of cooling, the rate at which an object's temperature changes is directly proportional to the difference in temperature between the object and the surrounding medium, that is dT(t)/dt ∝ T5 - T(t)

Introducing the constant of proportionality

dT(t)/dt = k[T5 - T(t)]

which is the desired differential equation

A solid metal object hangs from a force sensor by a thread in the open air, and the actual weight is measured to be 0.71 N. Then

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The apparent weight of the object is 0.465 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 0.71 N

Water level = 50 mL

object inserted = 75 mL

We need to calculate the volume of solid

Using formula of volume

$V=25\ ml = 25\times10^{-6}\ m^3$

We need to calculate the buoyancy force

Using formula of buoyancy force

$F'= V\rho g$

Put the value into the formula

$F'=25\times10^{-6}\times1000\times9.8$

$F'=0.245\ N$

We need to calculate the apparent weight of the object

Using formula of apparent weight

$W=F-F'$

Put the value into the formula

$W=0.71-0.245$

$W=0.465\ N$

Hence, The apparent weight of the object is 0.465 N.
