Answer: Replace the orange light source with a higher frequency light source

Explanation:

To expel electrons from a piece of metal, the incoming light must have a minimum frequency to cause a photoelectric effect, i.e., the ejection of photoelectrons from a metal surface, which is also known as the metal's threshold frequency.

If v = frequency of incident photon and vth= threshold frequency, then,

  • For v < vth, there will be no ejection of photoelectron.
  • For v = vth, photoelectrons are just ejected from the metal surface, in this case, the kinetic energy of the electron ejected is zero
  • For v > vth, then photoelectrons will come out of the surface along with kinetic energy

Therefore, we would have to increase the frequency of incident light so that it becomes greater than the threshold frequency of that surface, and consequently a photoelectric process takes place.

URGENT WORTH 30 POINTS!!
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

1. It won't break

2. 0.5 squared meters

Explanation:

1. Pressure (P) is force (F) exerted over an area(A). Greater the force or smaller the area, the pressure will be greater. This is presented by an equation:

P = F / A

This metallic object can be placed on the table in 3 different positions, depending on which its side is pressed against the table. Since its dimensions are 3 • 6 • 8 m, surface areas of these sides are:

A1 = 3 • 6 = 18m^2

A2 = 3 • 8 = 24m^2

A3 = 6 • 8 = 48m^2

It is already stated that the smaller are, greater the pressure, so this object will exert the greatest pressure if it's placed on the table with its 18m^2 side. In this case, pressure will be:

P = 400N / 18m^2

P = 22.2 N/m^2 (N/m^2 is the same unit as Pascal)

So, the table can withstand 250 Pa of pressure, the object exerts only 22.2 Pa, which means that the glass table won't break.

2. Again, we need to know the equation that connects the force and the pressure, and that is:

P = F / A

In this case, we have both the force and the pressure, and we want to find the surface of the area. From the previous equation, area can be found as:

A = F / P

A = 20N / 40Pa (N/m^2)

A = 0.5 m^2

So, the answer is: this pressure is exerted on the area of half of squared metar.

What are the advantages of parallel circuits? Check all that apply
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

If one bulb goes out, other bulbs stays lit.

If there is break in one branch of the circuit, current can still flow through other branches.

Parallel circuits are simple to design and build.

Explanation:

In parallel circuits all the components and resistors are connected to common terminal or common supply.

So here if we disconnect one of the branch of the circuit then it will not affect the other branches of the circuit so it will not affect the current of other branches.

So here it is very easy to build a parallel circuit and if one of the branch of the circuit goes out then it will not affect the other branches.

What can be used to plot the magnetic field around a bar magnet?
zlopas [31]

Answer:

A bar magnet creates a magnetic field around it. The field cannot be seen, but its effects can be observed. This is how the magnetic field around a magnet is detected. Iron fillings can be used to study the presence of magnetic field and a compass can be used to plot the field lines.
