    Now I know it is a bit hard for high school students to obtain apparatus for a first-hand investigation. Your research can be a...

    To gain a solid understanding of the evidence for the photoelectric effect, I recommend students watch this video. It's an oldie but a...

    wizzkids replied to the thread Spectroscopy.
    Yes there is. Go to https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ The Published Chemistry Database of the National Library of Medicine. From there...

    wizzkids replied to the thread Control tests are wrong.
    Don't be too disappointed if you discovered your control specimen was contaminated or behaved in some what that you did not anticipate...

    wizzkids replied to the thread Interference Questions.
    That is correct. The answer is an irrational number, but in an exam you have to choose the closest option which is (C).

    wizzkids replied to the thread Interference Questions.
    This is the Double Slit Experiment. Go look up the Physics formula sheet and you will find a formula that links the positions of...

    wizzkids replied to the thread Hypothesis?.
    Yes, the hypothesis needs to be in there, otherwise what are you investigating? Your hypothesis creates the inquiry question, and your...

    wizzkids replied to the thread Why is not A?.
    @kkk579 In question 6 (c) you performed a calculation based on energy. The correct way to calculate the height is to use v2 =u2 +2as...

    wizzkids replied to the thread Why is not A?.
    There is no correct answer. All the options are false. The best way to analyse this force-time graph is to recognise that the area...
