How can we derive the 'suvat' equations of motion v=u+at and s=(u+v)t/2

  1. v=u+at Using a velocity time graph with constant acceleration, (graph provided as visual aid in tutorial) with initial velocity u and final velocity v, we can see that the graph is a straight line. ...

A photon has an energy of 1.0 MeV. Calculate the frequency associated with this photon energy. State an appropriate unit in your answer.

The energy contained in a photon is given by the formula E = hf, where h is the Planck constant and f is the frequency of the photon. Since h = 4.110−15 eVs, f = E/h = 1.0103<...
