Chapter 21, Problem 104A
To determine
To discuses: the life and work of the scientist for whom such units were given.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Some of the units are termed with the name of the scientist for the concept of electricity. Few examples of units which are in the name of the scientist is farad, coulomb, ohm, volt and so on.
Michael faraday is the scientist who worked on understanding the amount of energy stored in the capacitor and thus capacitance is measured in Farad.
Charles Augustine de coulomb is an engineer and physicist who derived the concept of electricity force, charge and the constant is derived with his name as Coulombs constant.
George Ohm a school teacher who shows interest in developing
Alessandro Volta is an Italian physicist who worked on electricity battery and the potential difference units is name with Volt.

Because you don't want to pay the stiff fine, you are attempting a physics defense. You claim that due to the relativistic Doppler effect, the red color of the light λ=616 nm appeared green '=531 nm to you. The cop makes a quick calculation of his own and rejects your defense. How fast, in terms of your speed u divided by the speed of light in vacuum c, would you have to drive to justify your claim? Note that the speed u is taken to be a positive quantity.
