Identify what gives an object the greatest and the least kinetic energy

1 answer:

5 0

In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.

Why did scientists using classical, Newtonian physics have difficulty explaining the photoelectric effect?

alexandr402 [8]

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.
