Question
Answer

🗑
What is the value of the Planck's constant?   6.63 x 10^-34  
🗑
What is the equation for the energy of the photons?   E = hf  
🗑
What is the equation for the radiation flux?   F = P / A  
🗑
What is the name give to the particles of light?   Photons  
🗑
What is the equation for the speed of wave?   speed = wavelength / time  
🗑

🗑
What is the principle of superposition?   Where two or more waves meet, the total displacement at any point is the sum of the displacements that each individual wave would cause at that point.  
🗑

🗑
What is a standing wave?   Intereference between two waves travelling in opposite directions.  
🗑
When does resonance occur?   When the frequency of vibration of the cord is increased.  
🗑
