It is well known that lightning is seen before the thunder is heard. Wavelengths of electromagnetic and sound waves can be the same. Imagine that the wavelengths from the lightning and thunder are the same, what can be said about their frequencies?

How much do a steel BB weight?

Once their strength is exceeded, rocks near the surface behave like A. modeling clay. B. most metals. C. glass objects. D. caramel candy.

Explain how a charged amber rod can lift tiny bits of paper despite being under the gravitational force of the entire mass of the earth.

The de Broglie relation λ=h/p can be rewritten in terms of the wave number k as p=kℏ. Recall that wave number is defined by k=2π/λ. Using the fact that λ=v/f, find the wave numbers k1 and k2 corresponding to frequencies f1 and f2.
