|The motion of electrons is far | | | | |

|more affected by electrical | | | | |

|forces than protons are because | | | | |

|electrons are much less massive | | | | |

|and are outside of the nucleus. | | | | |

| | | | | |

|Most materials have equal numbers| | | | |

|of protons and electrons and are | | | | |

|therefore electrically neutral. | | | | |

|In most cases, a material | | | | |

|acquires a negative charge by | | | | |

|positive charge by losing | | | | |

|electrons. Even a tiny imbalance | | | | |

|In many conducting materials, | | | | |

|electrons are not firmly held by | | | | |

|the nuclei of the atoms that make| | | | |

|up the material. In these | | | | |

|materials, applied electric | | | | |

|All motion is relative to | | | | |

|whatever frame of reference is | | | | |

|chosen, for there is no | | | | |

|motionless frame from which to | | | | |

|judge all motion. | | | | |

| | | | | |

|The observed wavelength of a wave| | | | |

|depends upon the relative motion | | | | |

|of the source and the observer. | | | | |

|If either is moving toward the | | | | |

|other, the observed wavelength is| | | | |

|shorter; if either is moving | | | | |

|away, the wavelength is longer. | | | | |
