Explain how the photoelectric effect gives evidence for the photon theory of light.

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...

State what is meant by resonance and provide some examples where it is crucial.

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...

State what is meant by a Doppler shift and describe how it was used to study the movement of galaxies.

Doppler shift can be described as the fractional change in wavelength due to relative motion between an observer and a wave source. The wavelength of a line in the spectrum of light emitted by a distant r...
