    Wavelength of ejected electrons

    Homework Statement The threshold frequency of a metal is 3.184 x 10^14 Hz. If a photon of wavelength 368 nm strikes the surface of the metal, what is the wavelength of the ejected electron? Homework Equations f (frequency) = c/(wavelength) Eincident = Ethreshold + KE E=fv(wavelength)...

    Probability: Red ball being transfefred from bag m to n?

    The denominator should be (3/7) because it's only involving bag N?

    Probability: Red ball being transfefred from bag m to n?

    But it is conditional right? So IF a white ball was picked from bag N, which is 11/21, the probability of transferring a red ball from M to N is... I'm assuming red was picked first here then... so (2/7) and then white (3/8)...?

    Probability: Red ball being transfefred from bag m to n?

    Okay... I don't understand how P(R1&W2) turned into P(W2/R1) P (R1). Why are you multiplying it?

    Probability: Red ball being transfefred from bag m to n?

    Bag M contains 5 white balls and 2 red balls. Bag N contains 3 white balls and 4 red balls. a) A ball is randomly selected from Bag M and Placed in Bag N. A ball is then randomly selected from Bag N. What is the probability that the ball selected form Bag N is white? b) If a white...

    Probability it came from Bag A

    Bag A contains 5 white balls and 2 green balls. Bag B contains 3 white balls and 4 green balls. A fair die is rolled and if a 1 or a 2 comes up, a ball is randomly selected from Bag A; however, if a 3, 4, 5 or 6 comes up, a ball is randomly selected from Bag B. a) What is the probability of...

    Kinetic Energy's Effect on Electron's Radius in Magnetic Field

    An electron moves in a circular orbit of radius r in a magnetic field. The electron moves in a path perpendicular to the magnetic field. If the kinetic energy of the electron is doubled, what is the new radius of its path? What formula would I use to go about this? Is this about mass...

    Terminal Voltage Formula Doesn't Apply?

    Is this an exception though? Because there have been so many other scenarios where I haven't had to do this. Why now did we have to add up the potential drops? As in, why didn't the formula work?

    Terminal Voltage Formula Doesn't Apply?

    Hmm... okay... so what would happen if the internal resistor was on the left hand side? Would there still be two potential drops? I'm just confused because I haven't had to deal with adding up the potential drop across the internal resistor and EMF value itself before in order to find terminal...

    Adding a wrench to a series circuit ?

    Voltage across R2 V = IR = (1)(6) = 6 V Is the voltage across R1 the EMF minus the voltage parallel? So voltage across R1 = 30 - 6 = 24 V? Current through R1 would be I=V/R = 24/4 = 6 A. Oh! And then if there's only 1 A through R2 then there must be 5 A through the wrench due to Kirchoff's...

    Adding a wrench to a series circuit ?

    oooh okay let me do that then...

    Adding a wrench to a series circuit ?

    I don't know how to go about finding the current through the wrench though... especially if it has negligible resistance.
