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.
All waves have an amplitude, wavelength, and frequency.
Amplitude is how far away the wave moves from its resting place. When drawn on a graph, the amplitude is the distance between the upper (crests) and lower (troughs) points and their center on the wave.
Wavelength is the distance two crests or troughs are away from each other.
Frequency is the number of waves produced in a set amount of time. The unit used to measure frequency is Hertz (Hz).
With sound waves, the frequency determines the pitch. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch, and vice versa. So, a bass drum, which has a low pitch, would have a lower frequency than a mosquito's whine, which is very high pitched.
Light waves are actually electromagnetic waves. Their frequency determines what kind of wave they are, whether it's gamma rays, ultraviolet, x-rays, or something else.
Answer:
The term that refers the rate change of motion is acceleration.
Explanation:
The rate at which the motion changes is called as the acceleration. It is a vector quantity with the SI unit meters. There is device to measure the acceleration called as accelerometer. The acceleration is also affected by the increase and the decrease of the force and mass. It is directly proportional to it. The acceleration increases with force, but found to be decreasing with mass. It can be calculated by taking the product of displacement by time.
True. If the amount displaced is more than the mass, it floats. If the amount is less than the mass, it will sink.
