    What Is the Length of the Box Based on Photon Emission Wavelengths?

    Homework Statement Imagine a box of unknown length with the only visible photons emitted have 620nm and 443nm. Identify the transitions and find the length of the box. Homework Equations wavelength = (8mc2L2)/(hc(ni2 - nf2) The Attempt at a Solution So I assume that I need to do is...

    Gaussian Surface Electric Field Problem

    Homework Statement An uncharged spherical thin metallic shell has a point charge q at its center. Find expressions for the electric field Inside the shell Outside the shell has the shell any effect on the field due to q? has the presence of q any effect on the shell? if a second point charge...

    Capacitance/Capacitor Conceptual Problem

    Ok so would the overall be a factor of 1/4. Another thing is that we gave the charge to just ONE plate, so wouldn't that charge -Q stay on that one plate and polarize the other plate to +Q on the inside of the plate?

    Capacitance/Capacitor Conceptual Problem

    Homework Statement Assume we have two neutral plates a small distance away from each other. We place charge Q on one plate, leaving the other plate uncharged. We then measure a potential difference V across the plates. Some bright student notes the ratio of Q and V is not the value of the...
