    Use Max Planck's quantum theory to explain the following...

    ^__^ Thank you extremely much! I was struggle in this question because I was confuse myself with other concepts. But now I'm much more confident in it. Yes, I will definitely review my sentences (English is my second language so I often make it as simple as possible before tiding it up.) To...

    How did my friend get this "Theoretical Velocity" ?

    Δtm = Δts/√(1-v2/c2) Δtm = Δts/√(1-v2/(2v)2) Δtm = Δts/√(1-(1/4)) Δtm = 3.1x107/√(1-(1/4)) Δtm = 35795716.69 Correct? If this is correct, then it supports the fact that time dilation happens a lot more when matter approaches the speed of light. In this situation since speed of light is reduced...

    How did my friend get this "Theoretical Velocity" ?

    Thank you guys for the help! When I saw 3 X 10^3 I didn't know what it was and thought maybe it was a set value that i forgot to write in my notes. Also, would you guys happen to know how the person got the value "1x10^-6" for question B? I tried to solving for "c" in the equation Δtm =...

    How did my friend get this "Theoretical Velocity" ?

    1. The problem statement,d all variables and given/known data Two atomic clocks are synchronized. One is placed on a satellite which orbits around the Earth at high speeds for a whole year. The other is placed in a lab and remains at rest with respect to the earth. You may assume both clocks...

    Lenses often contain thin coatings to reduce reflections....

    Yes I did. I got some help from our textbook but I did not want to plagiarize it. I use my own words as much as possible without changing any of the theories. Yes I do, for the most part I understand the concepts is just my english structure can sometimes mess up what I want to say when i write...

    Lenses often contain thin coatings to reduce reflections....

    Homework Statement Lenses often contain thin coatings to reduce reflections and UV radiation. Explain how this works. Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution To reduce reflections on lenses, known as back-glare, they are often coated in what is called anti-reflective (AR). The AR causes...

    Imagine that you are conducting an activity with a laser....

    Yeah, my sentences are quite repetitive but I did not want to fix it up, yet, as I wanted to ensure my answer was correct. So just to make sure, should I change anything? (Other than improving the sentence structure.) Or should I add in that third possibility?
