    What is the common error when discussing the photoelectric effect?

    I would believe the last statement if Intensity only depended on N but it also depends on the frequency f. Now if Intensity depends on f we can also find a relationship between KE_max and Intensity by substituting from eqn 2) in eqn 1) KE_max = IA/N - W So if KE_max depends on f and I depends...

    Circular fringes in a Fabry-Perot Interferometer

    Fabry-Perot Interferometer contains an etalon(an optical cavity created by 2 partially reflective mirrors placed parallel to each other separated by a small distance). When light enters the etalon it gets reflected back and forth between both the mirrors, being partially reflective, every time...

    A problem about thin-film interference

    Thank you so much. I was really stuck. But we definitely need to put the n right? That must be a mistake in the book then. Thank you.

    Finding Help and Support on Physics Forums for New Undergraduates

    I am very new to this forum so I am not used to how exactly this forum works but I am trying. I have just started my undergrad and I tend to have a lot of questions and I am really having a hard time. So any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    A problem about thin-film interference

    1. Problem Statement: A transparent film has thickness 0.00325 cm, refractive index= 1.4. Find a) order of interference at theta=0° and b) the first four angles at which red light 6500 A will form bright light fringes. Ans:[ a)-100 ; b) - 5.73°, 9.94°, 12.84°...
