When was Photoelectric effect found?
1897 by Heinrich Hertz
Who first recognized the photoelectric effect?
Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, he coined what is known as the Hertz Effect.
Is there a step up transformer that I can purchase to use a 220V 50Hz 13A kitchen appliance in a regular kitchen in the US?
A transformer will not change the frequency. 50 Hertz in 50 Hertz out. 60 Hertz in 60 Hertz out. Transformers main purpose is to change one voltage value to different voltage value. Depending on what the kitchen appliance is and whether it has a motor involved in its operation, the appliance could be connected to the 240 volt North American distribution supply. If the appliance was identified, an answer of yes or no could be supplied.
Why is the word hertz used to describe frequency?
The word 'hertz' comes from Heinrich Rudolph Hertz, a German physicist who discovered the electrical waves (cycles), as well as the photo-electric effect.
What did Rudolf Heinrich Hertz invent?
Rudolf Hertz did not invent anything. He was a physicist who discovered electromagnetic waves and the photoelectric effect. Hertz's work laid the foundation for the development of radio technology.
What is the frequency range of the triangle instrument in hertz?
The frequency range of a triangle instrument is typically between 300 Hz and 500 Hz. The exact range can vary depending on the size and tuning of the instrument.
Does an isolation transformer work from 50 Hz input to 60 Hz output?
Generally speaking, an isolation transformer will work pretty much the same for 50 Hertz as for 60 Hertz. There will be some slight differences, but the frequency is low enough and the the range narrow enough that the transformer will just "do its thing" regardless. Note that the isolation transformer won't change the frequency of the input. An input of 50 Hz or 60 Hz will yield an output of 50 Hz and 60 Hz respectively. No change should be expected.
Why should a transformer designed for 400 hertz operation not be used for 60 hertz operation?
It's because running a transformer below its correct frequency means that the magnetic flux density in the iron core is too high. A 400 Hz transformer used at 60 Hz will have a magnetic field 400/60 times too high. That will definitely cause dangerous overheating, even when no load current is drawn from the transformer. The only way that transformer could be used is to run it at a lower voltage, 60/400 times the voltage. The flux density is proportional to the voltage divided by the frequency, so a 240 V 400 Hz transformer must be used only at 36 volts on a 60 Hz supply. The load current specification stays the same, if it's a 5-amp transformer that is the same on both supplies. 400 Hz power systems are used in aircraft, because the higher frequency allows smaller and lighter transformers to be used.
Can you get an adaptor for electronics from the UK to work in America?
That would be a step down transformer. Some devices come with an easily changed voltage input. It can be seen on the back of the device, usually near the power cord inlet. Some have an internal transformer whose taps can be changed by a technician. Some Marshall amps have that. Be aware of the 50 to 60 hertz change. Does that effect the device?A lot of places on-line have them.
Do they use 110 transformer boxes in Australia?
Not unless you have a 110 volt supply to plug it in to. The standard General Power Outlet in Australia is 240 volts AC at 50 Hertz.
When was solar panels found out?
In the 1800's some compounds were known to emit current when bathed in light. Called the Hertz effect in 1877 after Heinrich Hertz observed it in the laborotory. Albert Einstein got his Physics Nobel prize in 1921 for his explanation of the photoelectric effect.
Why would US hair straighteners not work in the UK with or without a transformer?
The frequencies (hertz) in the outlets are different. Your straightener will just blow right away. I recommend buying a cheap straightener once you arrive.
