What is the significance of graph intercepts in photocell experiments?
Can some help me to solve this question I have no idea where to start a) What is the physical significance of the intercept of the graph with the frequency axis (x-axis)? b) What is the physical significance of the intercept of the graph with the kinetic energy axis (y-axis)? c) Use the...- salsabel

Calculating the Age of a Body Using Carbon-14 Dating
In 1991, hikers found the frozen remains of a man in a glacier in the Alps, near the Austrian-Italian border. Carbon-14 analysis of tissue samples taken from the body revealed that the ratio of carbon-14 was 52.7% of what it was originally. Calculate the age of the body. A formula to...- salsabel

Is this right about Fusion and Fission?
Fission is a process in which a nucleus splits into two parts that are roughly the same size of the original nucleus. In fusion, two nuclei fuse, or combine, to form one nucleus. These reactions seem to be opposite to each other and yet both release large amounts of energy. Explain why this is...- salsabel

How Can You Identify Diffraction Gratings Using a Laser and Detection Screen?
thats what i got suppose the wavelength= 1cm = 1*10^-9 and m= 1 when d= 2*10^-6 m/line theta= 0.029 when d= 10^-6 theta= 0.057 that's all what i got- salsabel

How Can You Identify Diffraction Gratings Using a Laser and Detection Screen?
You find two unlabelled diffraction gratings in your lab. From purchase records, you know that one grating has 5000 lines/cm, while the other has 10 000 lines/cm. Given the following equipment, describe how you would determine which is the grating with 10 000 lines/cm: • Red laser • detection...- salsabel
