A firefighter who weighs 712 N slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 3.00 m/s2, directed downward. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (up or down) of the vertical force on the firefighter from the pole and the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of the vertical force on the pole from the firefighter?
Chapter 30: Quantum Physics The “ideal” blackbody absorbs all the light that is incident upon it and is an ideal radiator The distribution of energy in blackbody radiation is independent of the material from which the blackbody is constructed — it depends only on the temperature, T Classical predictions were that the intensity increased rapidly with frequency, hence the ultraviolet catastrophe. Planck’s constant is a very tiny number; this means that the quantization of the energy of blackbody radiation is imperceptible in most macroscopic situations A more intense beam of light will contain more photons, but the energy of each photon does not change The photoelectric effect occurs when a beam of light strikes a metal
