Why do scientists believe that light is made of streams of particles?

2 answers:

Scientists believe that light is made of streams of particles because only the presence of photons can explain phenomena observed during experiments on the photoelectric effect. These observations include only some frequencies of light causing the ejection of electrons, no time gap existing between light striking a metal and electrons being ejected, and intensity having no effect on the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons.

How can astrophysicists tell whether a star is receding from or approaching earth?

MrMuchimi

Answer:

Doppler shift of the starlight

Explanation:

To predict the movement of a star, we compare the spectra of elements found in star (H, He Na etc.), first spectra which are obtained from star and second spectra from laboratory. If spectral lines of the spectra obtained from star, are shifting towards red end (called red shift) then star is going away from earth and if shifting is towards blue (called blue shift), then star is approaching the earth. This is Doppler's shift.

Starting from zero, an electric current is established in a circuit made of a battery of emf E, a resistor of resistance R and a

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

time constant will decrease and steady state current will decrease on increasing the resistance

Explanation:

As we know that the EMF of cell is E which is used to connected across a resistor and an inductor.

So we will have

$E - iR - L\frac{di}{dt} = 0$

here we know that

$i = \frac{E}{R}(1 - e^{-Rt/L})$

now here we have

$\tau = \frac{L}{R}$

so if we increase the value of resistance of the wire then the time constant will decrease

and hence it will take less time to reach near the steady state value

also the steady state current will be smaller in that case

A charge of 1.5 µC is placed on the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. The change in voltage across the plates is 36 V. How m

belka [17]

Answer:

Energy stored in the capacitor is $U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, $q=1.5\ \mu C=1.5\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Potential difference, V = 36 V

We need to find the potential energy is stored in the capacitor. The stored potential energy is given by :

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}q\times V$

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.5\times 10^{-6}\times 36$

U = 0.000027 J

$U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J$

So, the potential energy is stored in the capacitor is $U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

The si unit of measurement is a way for scientists to?

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Have a universal record base. Everyone is able to understand the data compiled since the same measurement systems are being used around the world. This is just to simplify all of the information.
