What is a nerve synapse, and how does it transfer information?

Synapses are junctions between nerves. They allow information (impulses) to be transferred from one nerve to the next. The first nerve conducts an electrical impulse across its length, which causes it to rel...

Photons with 605 THz frequency strike metal of 1.2eV work function. Calculate the maximum energy of photoelectrons and their velocity. What amount of energy is necessary to stop all photoelectrons? (Planck's constant. electron mass and charge are given)

Start off by converting all given data into SI units to avoid confusion later on. The photoelectric effect happens when photons with energy larger than work function strike metal, thus releasing the electron...

The amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator has decreased from 40cm to 38cm. What percentage of energy did the harmonic oscillator lose?

It is recommended to start off by converting all given data into SI units to avoid confusion later on. Write down the total energy of the system and that it is conserved: E(tot)= KE+PE and KE=(mv^2)/2; PE=(k...
