The graph paper for the photoelectric effect does not begin from the origin because there is a threshold frequency required to eject electrons. Below this threshold frequency, no electrons are emitted, so there is a minimum value on the x-axis. Electrons are only emitted once the incident light reaches a certain energy level (threshold), causing the emission of electrons. This energy level is depicted by the non-zero intercept on the x-axis of the graph paper.

What does the Doppler effect graph illustrate?

The Doppler effect graph illustrates how the frequency of a wave changes when the source of the wave is moving relative to the observer.


How an object might move to create a graph if it is moving away from the origin?

If an object is moving away from the origin, its position values will increase over time in one or more directions. This movement would result in a graph with lines or curves that have positive slopes or increasing values, indicating the object's increasing distance from the origin.


Does the force vs acceleration graph goes through origin?

No, in general, the force vs acceleration graph does not always pass through the origin. This is because there may be a non-zero force acting on an object even when it is at rest. The presence of a non-zero force at rest would lead to a non-zero intercept on the force vs acceleration graph.


What variable does slope represent in a velocity vs time graph?

The Physical quantity that the slope of velocity time graph show is:negative acceleration otherwise retardation.If the velocity of the body is decreasing then the body is said to have negative acceleration (-ve) or retardation.u>v


Why do the load extension graph passes through the origin?

The load extension graph passes through the origin because at the beginning of the test, there is no load applied, so the extension is zero. This is the starting point on the graph where load and extension are proportional to each other before any deformation occurs.
