    How photoelectric effect shows particulate nature of light?

    Would the following explanations suffice to explain why the photoelectric effect shows the particulate nature of light? 1) There is instantaneous emission of photoelectrons when the energy of the photon is greater than the work function of the material. 2) There is no emission of...

    Proportion of energy gained by decay products

    Hello! Thank you for your reply. Sorry, you may have misunderstood my question. I understand that the amount of energy gained by the decay products depends on how massive the parent nucleus is. However, my question is: Assuming that we a total of 10MeV to be gained by decay products...

    MHB Poisson Distribution: Prob of <=3 Wrong Connections in Building

    A building has 2 independent automatc telephone exchanges A and B. The number X of wrong connections for A in anyone day is a poisson variable with parameter 0.5 and the number Y of wrong connections for B in any one day is a poisson variable with parameter 1. Calculate in any particular...

    MHB What is the Least Value of K for Advancement in a Binomial Distribution Game?

    A bag contains 4 red, 5 blue and 6 green balls. The balls are indistinguishable except for their colour. A trial consists of drawing a ball at random from the bag, noting its colour and replacing it in the bag. A game is plated by performing 10 trials in all. At the start of the tournament...

    MHB Find Intersection of Complex Number Loci Given w

    Yup, I think you haven't read the next part I wrote. I completed drawing the locus and am facing difficulties solving the part which asks for a complex number representing the intersection of these 2 loci. "I have drawn the 2 locus already. But I do not know how to find the complex number...

    MHB Complex Numbers VI: Finding Least Value of |z-2√2-4i|

    Sketch on an Argand diagram the set of points satisfying both |z-4i|<=\sqrt{5} and \frac{\pi}{4}<=arg(z+4)<=\frac{\pi}{2}. I have already sketched the 2 loci. The problem lies in the following part. Hence find the least value of |z-2\sqrt{2}-4i|. Find, in exact form, the complex number z_1...

    MHB Find Intersection of Complex Number Loci Given w

    w is a fixed complex number and \( 0<arg(w)<\frac{\pi}{2} \). Mark A and B, the points representing w and iw, on the Argand dagram. P represents the variable complex number z. Sketch on the same diagram, the locus of P in each of the following cases: (i) \( |z-w|=|z-iw| \) (ii)...

    MHB Solve Complex Number IV Problem: Find Radius & Centre

    A complex number is represented by the point P in an Argand diagram. If the real part of the complex number w=\frac{z+1}{z-2i} (z not 2i) is zero, show that the locus of P is a circle and find the radius and centre of the circle. I have a problem manipulating w to find the real part of w
