    What Steps Are Misunderstood in Solving Non-Linear Homogeneous Equations?

    Hi. I'm having a problem understanding how to solve non-linear homogeneous equations. For example, (x^{}2+y^{}2)dx +xydy = 0 ; x=1, y=1 I understand that y=xv, v=y/x, and dy=xdv +vdx To sub in, x^{}2 + (v^{}2x^{}2)dx +x^{}2v(vdx+xdv) = 0 Here's where I get lost: x^{}2[(1+v^{}2)dx...

    Photoelectric Effect and ozone layer

    Hi. I hope someone can help. Here is the problem: [Pennies are made of zinc coated with copper. Copper has a work function of 4.7eV. The ozone layer blocks nearly all solar radiation with wavelength shorter than 320nm, but a very small amount of 200nm light still manages to reach the Earth's...
