Lab Methods$\Rightarrow$}Log Graphs

Log graphs are good for exponential-related phenomenon. Thus (A), (C), and (E) are appropriate, thus eliminated. The stopping potential has a linear relation to the frequency, and thus choice (B) is eliminated. The remaining choice is (D).

Can anyone help me with an study reference about these graph stuff?

In choice D, the graph gain vs 1/frequency is linear. The graph gain vs frequency is hyperbolic.

Just to add a little bit as to why log graphs are good for exponential related phenomena, note that a power law in log-log coordinates is a line:

$y=ax^m \Rightarrow log(y) = log(ax^m) = mlog(ax) = mlog(x)+ mlog(a) \Rightarrow log(y) = mlog(x) + mlog(a)$which is of the form $y = mx+b$ (since $mlog(a)$ is just a constant (like $b$) and we identify $y$ with $log(y)$ and $x$ with $log(x)$, as these are our new axes in log-log coordinates). So the exponent in the power law becomes the slope in log-log coordinates. Testing this is a GRE favorite, as it is a major tool in experimental physics.
 tachyon7882009-10-06 11:48:47 You have a small math error in your use of logs. The equation should be: $log(y)=log(ax^m)=log(a)+log(x^m)=log(a)+mlog(x)$

Can anyone help me with an study reference about these graph stuff?
