What is meant by the doppler effect?

The doppler effect is the change in frequency and wavelength of waves coming from a wave source moving relative to you. If a wavesource is stationary then the waves in all directions all have the same fre...

What is the threshold frequency of a photon to excite and then emit photoelectrons from a material?

Use the photoelectric effect equation which shows conservation of energy between photons, electrons and the material that the electron is being freed from, hf = phi + KEmax . Definin...

How does the angle of an inclined plane relate to its efficiency, given the coefficient of friction between a body and the plane?

Let’s define the efficiency first. The efficiency is basically the ratio between what we want over what we pay for. So, we want to lift an object up to a height, say H. In the ideal scenario we lift that ...

2 resistors of resistances 150 ohms and 5000 ohms respectively are in series with each other. They both are also in parallel with a 1000 ohm resistor. What is the total resistance?

Firstly, you should start by working out the total resistance for the 150 ohm and 5000 ohm resistors which are in series: -In series the total resistance is given as the ...
