Explanation
During the day when temperatures are higher, the snow melts and water enters the cracks in the rock. When the temperature drops below 0°C the water in the crack freezes and expands by about 9 per cent. This makes the crack larger.

What is the frequency of radiation emitted by a photon of light if the energy released during its transition to ground state is
miskamm [114]
If i was feeling harsh today, I'd say the answer to your question is impossible to obtain due to the fact that photons do not emit radiation, photons ARE the radiation emitted. Though for the sake of it, here is the method...

<u>The simple method:
</u>

E=hf

therefore f=e/h

f=(3.611x10^-15) / 6.63x10^-34)

Answer: 5.45x10^18

You throw a small rock straight up from the edge of a highway bridge that crosses a river. the rock passes you on its way down,
maw [93]
V^2=u^2 +2aS
U is found first by considering that first 8 secs and using v=u+at. {different v and u though}

V=-u+gt.
Magnitude of u = magnitude of v if there is no resistance ( because the conservation of energy says the k. E. must be the same when it passes you as when it left your hand).... up is negative here, down is positive.
V+v=gt
2v= g x 8
V=4xg.= the initial velocity for the next calculation
V^2=(4g)^2+(2xgx21)

So v can be calculated.
