... and falling away from the point where the pebble hits the water are called waves. Because these waves move up and down at right angles (or perpendicular) to the direction they are traveling, they are called transverse waves (Fig. 2-2). Electromagnetic waves are examples of transverse waves. Observin ...

Spectra and energy levels - Teaching Advanced Physics
... It is all a question of scale. We do not 'see' quantum effects generally in everyday life because of the very small value of Planck's constant. Think about a person and an ant walking across a gravelled path. The size of the individual pieces of gravel may seem small to us but they are giant boulder ...

Electron Corral
... Ultraviolet light is needed for zinc. Radiation of a frequency below f0 does not eject any electrons from the metal, no matter how intense the light is. However, even if the incident light is very dim, radiation at or above the threshold frequency causes electrons to leave the metal immediately; the ...

From Last Time… Wavelength of 1 eV electron Question Can this be
... The energy carried away by the photon must be given up by the electron. The electron can give up energy by dropping to a lower energy state. So possible photon energies correspond to differences between electron orbital energies. The 10.2 eV photon is emitted when the electron jumps from the -3.4 eV ...

Derivation of Einstein`s Energy Equation from Maxwell`s Electric

This barrier separates what is known as non-relativistic from relativistic physics. Einstein was the first to derive mass-energy equivalence from th ...
