When light is shone onto a piece of metal, if the light is below a certain frequency, no photoelectrons are emitted. Only if the light is above a certain frequency, known as the threshold frequency, are p...

Ohm's law states V=R×I, which means that the voltage difference V across a component and the current I flowing across it are directly proportional one another, and the proportionality coefficient is the r...

Initially the average kinetic energy of the trapped air within the can is much higher the surrounding body of air. However, when immersed in the cold water, there is a significant decrease in the average ...

Resonance is where a system is forced to oscillate at a frequency close or at its natural frequency. The result of the forced oscillation produces a maximum energy transfer and, therefore, a large increa...

The work done by a force on a particle is: Work done = Force x Displacement.The energy of a particle is given by the sum of its potential and kinetic energies.As the particle does not gain or lose any hei...
