When the conductor is subjected to an electric field E then each electron have force F=-eE And acquires an acceleration a =F/m=-eE/n----(1) m=mass of electrons e=charge E=electric field The average time between two consicutive collision is known as relaxation time of electron τ=τ1+τ2+------τn/n-------(2) We...

What should be the fees for class XI and xii physics per class in Bhubaneswar?
According to me, the best fee will be the changed study pattern of the students from rote to conceptual and being able for themselves to choose what they actually want to do after 12th ( not necessarily engineering or MBBS). Thanks.

why the frequency of light does not change when it entered into the denser medium ?
This is because frequency is the inherent property of any matter. It is fixed and specific for a particular substance. It doesn't vary as its the 'identity' of a particle or a wave.
