38-3. A blinking light on a spacecraft moves past an observer at 0.75c. The observer records

that the light blinks at a frequency of 2.0 Hz. What is the actual frequency of the blinking

Relative frequency is 2.0 blinks per second, which is relative time of 0.5 s/blink

person moves a blue block a distance of 8 m in 3.0 s. On the red ship, a person moves a

red block a distance of 4 m in 2.0 s. (a) What are the measurements of these four

parameters from the viewpoint of the person on the blue ship? (b) What are the same

measurements from the perspective of a person on the red ship? [ = 0.8c/c = 0.800 ]

*38-50. In a photoelectric experiment shown as Fig. 38-15, a source of emf is connected in

series with a galvanometer G. Light falling on the metal cathode produces photoelectrons.

The source of emf is biased against the flow of electrons, retarding their motion. The

potential difference V0 just sufficient to stop the most energetic photoelectrons is called

the stopping potential. Assume that a surface is illuminated with light of wavelength 450

nm. causing electrons to be ejected from the surface at a maximum speed of 6 x 105 m/s.

What is the work function for the surface and what is the stopping potential?
