Which of the following statements is not truefor the two postulates of special relativity?The laws of physics are the same in allinertial frames of reference.The speed of light in free space has thesame value in all inertial frames ofreference.The speed of light is constant regardlessof the medium.The Maxwell theory is consistent withspecial theory of relativity. 7. Which of the following statements is true forthe experimental findings on photoelectriceffect?Within the limits of experimental accuracythere is not time interval between thearrival of light at the metallic surface andemission of photoelectrons.A bright light yield the same number ofphotoelectrons than a dim one at thesame frequency but the electron energiesare not the same.Higher frequency of light yields morephotoelectrons at the same intensity oflight incident on the metal surface.Both the intensity and frequency of lightdo not affect the number ofphotoelectrons produced at the metallicsurface as well as the energy of theemerging photoelectrons.

Our solar system orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Assuming a circular orbit 30,000 ly in radius and an orbital speed of 250 km/s, how many years does it take for one revolution? Note than this is approximate, assuming constant speed and circular orbit, but it is representative of the time for our system and local stars to make one revolution around the galaxy.

Suppose a Wcreated in a particle detector lives for 5.001025s . What distance does it move in this time if it is traveling at 0.900c? (Note that the time is longer than the given Wlifetime, which can be due to the statistical nature of decay or time dilation.)
