    How Did Millikan Determine the Charge of an Electron?

    when u perform the experiment many times, u get different amounts of charge on the drop for each exp. comparing these different values, you should be able to find the lowest value (lets say it's 3.2 x 10^-19C). then with this lowest value u find, for each of the other readings, how many times...

    Einstein's energy equation and kinetic energy

    hi dirtydog, as zapperz says, thery are not the same thing. kinetic energy (KE) is a form of energy that a body has due to its motion, while the other eqn describes the total amt of inherent energy that a body has due to its mass. therefore for the KE, a body's KE can be increased by...

    Angular spread in diffraction grating

    hi, i have a question here tt i hope some kind souls out there can clarify with me. if i shine a monochromatic light, let's say 500 nm, at a diffraction grating, will i onli get spectral lines, or will there be some orders which give me an angular spread? cos when u draw the graph of...
