Give examples of how the photoelectric effect supports the particle nature of light and defies the wave theory.

The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons from a metal when light is incident on the surface. The effect is due to the absorption of energy by the surface electrons causing them to become excited...

Convert the general complex number z=x+iy to modulus-argument form.

Modulus-argument form implies that we should express z in terms of its straight line distance from the origin and the angle this straight line would make with the x axis. This is expressed as z = r e i*theta...

Solve the equation; 4 cos^2 (x) + 7 sin (x) – 7 = 0, giving all answers between 0° and 360°.

4 cos 2 (x) + 7sin (x) – 7 = 0 (1) Using the identity sin 2 (x) + cos 2 (x) = 1, rearrange to give; cos 2 (x) = 1 - sin 2 (x) (2) Sub (2) into (1) ... Giving; 4 ( 1 - sin 2 (x) ) + 7sin (x) - 7 = 0 Expand br...

Explain in terms of the motion of the molecules of the gas why the volume of gas must increase if the pressure is to remain constant as the gas is heated.

- When gas is heated, the molecules gain kinetic energy. This causes more collisions of greater force per unit time with the wall of the container. If the pressure is constant, then fewer collisions per unit...
