    Graduate Photoelectric effect question, help , thanks

    Photoelectric effect question, help please, thanks! In the standard experiment the stopping voltage is measured for several wavelengths of incident light. In this apparatus the photocathode is metallic potassium. Suppose that the apparatus has not been used for some time and that its...

    How Deep is the Well When Humming Establishes Standing Waves?

    A person hums into the top of a well and finds that standing waves are established at frequency of 42,000, and 98 Hz. The frequency of 42 Hz. is not necessarily the fundamental frequency. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. How deep is the well?

    Undergrad What is the Mean Value Theorem and its applications in calculus?

    again, I've another question i wish it is the last. it is about "Mean Value Theorem", * if u and v are any real numbers, then, prove that: |sin(u)-sin(v)|<=|u-v| * Prove that [(1+h)^(1/2)] < [1+(h/2)], for h>0 * Suppose that f'(x)=g'(x)+x for every (x) in some interval (I)...
