Determining an equation that relates photon energy to wavelength.
Using the equation for photon energy, and the equation relating wavelength to frequency, figure out an equation that relates photon energy to wavelength.
Calculating the raduis of a circular path in regards to Helmholtz coils.
Electrons from a hot cathode move ("fall") through a potential difference of 100.0 volts and then enter the uniform magnetic field between the coils of a Helmholtz set. The coils have a radius and separation of 0.150 meters. Each coil has 200 turns. The current through the coils is 0.500 Amperes. Using published values for t ...continues

Comparing the maximum voltage to the average voltage in AC circuits.
What is the comparison between the maximum voltage (or current) and the average voltage (or current)?
For a hollow tube length l opened at one end and closed at the other: a)Draw the first 3 resonant sound waves, starting with the lowest frequency b)Indicate the wavelength for each wave c) explain the boundary conditions at the ends in terms of the displacement and pressure aspects of the sound wave.
A droppler question: Calculating the frequency of sound waves.
An untethered(free) weather balloon travelling with the wind (at wind speed) emits a 1 khz sound wave. The wind is blowing with respect to the land due east at .25 times the speed of sound in air. If the free balloon is moving away (due east)from a tower at same height, what is the frequency of the sound detected at the tower? ...continues
Calculating electic potential charges on point particles.
Two point particles, each with charge Q, are placed at positions +- a x. A) What is the elctric potential anywhere along the y axis? B) How much energy does it take to move a thrid particle, charge Q, from infinity to a position in order to make an equilateral triangle among the charges? (ie. all edges have length 2a)
