Explain the experimental evidence and reasoning that led 19th century physicists to conclude that light has wavelike properties. In doing this, you should discuss at least one semal experiment, and describe what was known about the properties of light before the experiment, what key piece of evidence from this experiment changed physicists' understanding of light , and explain the new understanding of the physical nature of light that developed as result of this experiment.

Electrons were transferred for this equilibrium state : A metallic sphere has a charge of -9.4 nC. A negatively charged rod has a charge of -5.2 nC. The rod is then placed on the sphere and both objects reach an equilibrium state at which they have the same charge. How many electrons were transferred for ..

Two charges of equal magnitude exert an attractive force : Two charges of equal magnitude exert an attractive force of 2.0×10-4 N on each other. If the magnitude of each charge is +2.3 C, how far apart are the charges?

Components of velocity of cruise ship relative patrol boat : A cruise ship sails due north at 4.00 m/s while a coast guard patrol boat heads 42.0° north of west at 5.00 m/s. What are the x- and y-components of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat?

Compute the density of the oil : When placed in a water of density 997 kg/m3, a hollow sphere of inner radius 10cm and outer radius 11cm floats with half of its volume below the level of the free surface of the water. Compute the density of the material the sphere is made. When plac..

Assume that the frequency of the laser light is doubled : A double- slit experiment is performed by a coherent (single frequency/wavelength) beam of laser light. Assume that the two slits are separated by a distance D= 0.1 mm; the distance (H) among the center of the pattern and the second ( m=2) bright reg..

With a gauge find the width of one of your fingers : With a gauge find the width of one of your fingers, also gauge the distance from the tip of your nose to your finger held upright at arms length. What is the angular size of your finger?

Image is formed with spherical mirror of focal length : An upright image is formed with a spherical mirror of focal length of 15 cm. The distance between an object and its upright image is 20.0 cm. The upright image formed with the mirror has a magnification of 0.50.

Examples of hydraulic- lift systems : Dentists’ chairs are examples of hydraulic- lift systems. If a chair weighs 1600 N and rests on a piston by a cross-sectional area of 1440 cm2, what force should be applied to the smaller piston with a cross-sectional area of 72 cm2 to lift the chair..
