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.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply here Doppler's effect in optics . The formula is as follows

\frac{\triangle\lambda }{\lambda } = \frac{v}{c}

Δλ is change in wavelength , λ is original wavelength , v is velocity and c is velocity of light

Δλ = 685 - 590 = 95 nm

λ = 685

95 / 685 = v / 3 x 10⁸

v = .416 x 10⁸ m / s

= 4.16 x 10⁷ m /s

Why do we feel the effects of gravity given that the gravitational force is so weak?
almond37 [142]
Any two objects in the universe attract each other. Gravity is the force exerted by earth on you (you exert the same force on earth) but due to the fact that earth has a huge mass compared to yours, you will be attracted to earth only by a small gravitational force.
