Cutoff potential?
hello, in the photoelectric effect what is the cutoff potential? the official definition in my textbook is that it is the "smallest potential difference sufficient to reduce the photo current to zero" you guys will probably laugh but that doesn't really make sense to me and I...
Frequency of light?
hello everybody, first of all i would like to thank you in advance for answering my questions:)
I am currently learning about the foundations of Quantum physics and this statement keeps on coming up and I cannot understand it. What is the frequency of light?? I don't...
Homework Statement
A steel ball of mass 0.50 kg, moving with a velocity of 2.0 m/s [E], strikes a second ball of mass 0.30 kg, initially at rest.The collision is a glancing one, causing the moving ball to have a velocity of 1.5 m/s [E 30 N] after the collision. Determine the velocity of the...
hello everybody
in a question in my textbook i am asked to calculate my momentum when i am running at my estimated top speed, so i subbed in 10 m/s for the velocity and my weight is 80 kg and since the equation for momentum is P = mv i got the answer: 800 kg x m/s.
Now i know that the...
