Answer:

nothing travels faster than light

Example:

You’ll always see lightning before you hear it, because typically lightning will be a mile away, two miles away.

g Calculate the maximum wavelength of light that will cause the photoelectric effect for potassium. Potassium has work function
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

λ = 5.4196 10⁻⁷m,  λ = 541.96 nm    this is green ligh

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect was explained by Eintein assuming that the light was made up of particles called photons and these collided with the electrons taking them out of the material.

 

                     K = h f -Ф

where K is the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons, hf is the energy of the light quanta and fi is the work function of the material.

The speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

                   c = λ / f

                  f = c /λ

we substitute

                K = h c / λ - Φ

for the case that they ask us the kinetic energy of the electons is zero (K = 0)

                 h c / λ = Ф

                λ = h c / Ф

we calculate

                 λ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸ / 3.67 10⁻¹⁸

                 λ = 5.4196 10⁻⁷m

let's take nm

                lam = 541.96 nm

this is green light

Why current remains same in series combination of resistors in all resistors and p.d. remains different?
IgorC [24]
Current at all points of a series circuit must be the same, because there's no place in the circuit where electrons are being manufactured, and no place where they're leaking out and falling on the floor. The nimber of electrons that leaves the loop is the same number that entered it. I'm not sure what is nmeant by "p.d. remains different" .

The energy of the wave will decrease.

The energy of a wave is given as

E = h f

where E = energy of waver

h = plank's constant

f = frequency of the wave.

From the formula , we see that the energy of the wave is directly proportional to the frequency of the wave. hence as the frequency of the wave decrease, the energy of the wave will decrease.

How long Tina, a ballerina, in the air when she leaps straight up with a speed of 1.8 m/s?
Tems11 [23]

The acceleration of gravity on or near the surface of the Earth is 9.8 m/s².
Anything acted on only by gravity loses 9.8 m/s of upward speed, or gains
9.8 m/s of downward speed, every second.

Leaping straight upward at 1.8 m/s, Tina keeps rising until she runs out of
upward speed.  That happens in (1.8/9.8) = 0.1837 second after the leap.

After that, Finkel's First Law of Motion takes over:
"What goes up must come down."

The dropping part of the leap is symmetrical with the first.  Please don't
make me go through proving it.  Tina hits the floor at the same speed of
1.8 m/s with which she left it, and it takes the same amount of time to drop
from the peak to the floor as it took to rise from the floor to the peak.

So her total time out of contact with the floor is

                     2 x (0.1837 sec)  =  0.367 second  (rounded)

What are the strengths and limitations of the doppler method?
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Strength: able to detect planets in a wide range of orbits, as long as orbits aren't face on

Limitations: yield only planet's mass and orbital properties

Explanation:

Strengths: yield planet's size

Limitations: few planets have the necessary orbital alignment to be detectable
