    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...

    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...

    Calculate the average binding energy per nucleon

    a) Calculate the average binding energy per nucleon in the deuterium nucleus. b) The energy that binds an orbiting electron to the hydrogen nucleus is 13.4 eV. Calculate the ratio of the binding energy per nucleon to the binding per electron in deuterium. Which particle is held more tightly...

    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...

    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

    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...

    Calculating Relativistic Length of a Moving Spaceship

    “proper” length A spaceship travels past a planet at a speed of 0.80 c as measured from the planet’s frame of reference. An observer on the planet measures the length of a moving spaceship to be 40 m. a) How long is the spaceship, according to the astronaut? b) At what speed would the...

    Solving Astronaut Problem: Time Dilation, Pulse Calculation

    An astronaut traveling at 0.90c, with respect to Earth, measures his pulse and finds it to be 70 beats per minute. a) Calculate the time required for one pulse to occur, as measured by the astronaut. b) Calculate the time required for one pulse to occur, as measured by an Earth-based...

    What causes Venus to be hotter than Mercury despite being farther from the Sun?

    The dense atmosphere on the planet Venus makes Venus the hottest planet in the solar system, even hotter than Mercury the closest planet to the Sun. suggest an explanation for this anomaly that involves the electromagnetic spectrum. - Electromagnetic waves travel slower in denser mediums, and...

    Discover the Vibrant Colors of Soap Bubbles: Red or Blue Near the Bottom?

    Which of the following colours would you expect to see near the bottom of a soap bubble, red or blue? this is my solution If the thickness of the soap bubble is much smaller than the wavelength of light, the result is destructive interference (dark color). The thickness required to produce...
