In short, when light illuminates a piece of metal, the light kicks off electrons from the metal’s surface and these electrons can be detected as a change in the electric charge of the metal or as an electric current. Hence the name: photo for light and electric for the current. The explanation behind this simple phenomenon opened the door to revolutionary modern physics concepts regarding the composition of light, quantum mechanics, and what is now referred to as the “wave-particle duality” of nature. The wave-particle duality of nature is perhaps one of the greatest mysteries of our universe and a very interesting philosophical subject! Your goal in this lab is to reproduce the photoelectric effect for yourselves and to understand how it demonstrates the particle behavior of light.

Answer:

C) X-ray radiation will strip away electrons because it has a shorter wavelength and therefore more energy

Why is Einstein's description of gravity called a theory, while Newton's is a law?
Ludmilka [50]
Albert Einstein came up with the theory of general relativity to explain the law of gravity, whilst Newton's three laws of gravity is universal. To understand this further, it's best to understand it in scientific terms.

The weird thing about science is that words that are used in a colloquial sense may have a completely opposite definition in scientific terms.

A law in science is a constant and invariable statement that is universal. Wherever you may be in the universe, Newton's three laws of gravity will always be applied.

The word "theory" doesn't imply conjecture or an idea someone made up after a night of drinking. In science, a theory is the highest level of certainty behind mathematical proof -- which isn't even a part of science, obviously. A theory has to be substantiated by all available evidence and contradicted by none. All theories also have to have to be falsifiable. For this reason, theories can never be proven. Einstein's theory of general relativity has great predictive power, but in some cases, the predictions aren't always constant. Theories are often revised to fit new available evidence.

In a certain city, electricity costs $0.20 per kw·h. what is the annual cost for electricity to power a lamp-post for 8.00 hours
UNO [17]

Part a)

per day electricity power consumed when 100 W bulb is used for 8 hours

P = 8 * 100 = 800 Wh

for one year consumption

E = 365 * 800 = 292 kWH

now the cost will be given

cost = 0.20 * 292 = $ 58.4

now when other energy efficient light is used

P = 8 * 25 = 200 Wh

for one year consumption

E = 365 * 200 = 73 kWH

now the cost will be given

cost = 0.20 * 73 = $ 14.6

Miles is camping in Glacier National Park. In the midst of a glacier canyon,
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

t=1.623 sec

Explanation:

The distance traveled before the echo is had is:

distance=2d, d=280\ m\\\\=280\times 2\\\\=560 \ m

Given the speed of sound as v=345m/s, we use the speed equation to solve for t:

v=\frac{d}{t}\\\\345\ m/s=\frac{560m}{t}\\\\t=\frac{560}{360}\\\\=1.623 \ s

Hence, it takes 1.623 seconds to hear the echo.
