In a particular experiment to study the photoelectric effect, the frequency of the incident light and the temperature of the met

al are held constant. Assuming that the light incident on the metal surface causes electrons to be ejected from the metal, what happens if the intensity of the incident light is increased?

Answer:

Explanation:

When a light beam of suitable frequency falls on metal surface, the electrons from the metal surface ejects, this phenomenon is called photo electric effect and the particular minimum frequency is called cut off frequency or threshold frequency.

When the intensity of incident radiation increases, the photo electric current also increases.

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the ejected electrons increases.

Explanation:

As we know that electrons are only ejected from a metal surface if the frequency of the incident light increases the work function of the metal. If the frequency of the incident light is less than the work function of the metal no matter how intense the beam the electrons will not be ejected from the surface.

Using conservation of energy principle we have

E_{incident}=h\nu +\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

If we increase the intensity  of incident light the term on the LHS of the above equation increases this increase appears in the kinetic energy term in RHS of the equation since h\times \nu remains constant.

What changes must be done to the wire to increase its conductance.​
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

- Decreasing the resistance

- Using a shorter length

- Using a smaller area wire

Explanation:

Formula for conductance in wires is;

G = 1/R

Where;

G is conductance

R is resistance

This means that increasing the resistance leads to a larger denominator and thus a smaller conductance but to decrease the denominator means larger conductance.

Thus, to increase the conductance, we have to decrease the resistance.

Resistance here has a formula of;

R = ρL/A

Where;

ρ is resistivity

L is length of wire

A is area

Thus, to decrease the resistance, we will have to use a shorter length and smaller area of wire.

A rubber ball is dropped from a height of 8m. After strikingthe floor, the ball bounces to a height of 5m. a. If the ball had bo
kifflom [539]

Answer:

a) This means the collision between the ball and the floor is elastic.

b) This points to a perfectly inelastic collision between the ball and the floor as they stick together after collision

c) Check Explanation.

Explanation:

Collision of bodies are analysed according to whether both momentum and kinetic energy of the system is conserved, that is, if these two quantities before collision are equal to their values after collision.

In all types of collisions, momentum is usually conserved, but kinetic energy is conserved only in an elastic collision.

A ball dropped from a height of 8 m bounces up back to a height of 5 m.

a. If the ball had bounced to a height of 8m, how would you describe the collision between the ball and the floor?

The ball not bouncing back to a height of 8 m shows energy loss at some point in the total motion of the ball (most likely at the collision). If kinetic energy was conserved, the ball would bounce back up to the height at which it fell from (8 m) after the collision with the floor.

b. If the ball had not bounced at all, how would you describe the collision between the ball and the floor?

If the ball had not bounced at all, this means it lost all of its kinetic energy to the floor, and this points to a perfectly inelastic collision between the ball and the floor as they stick together after collision.

c. What happened to the energy lost by the ball during thecollision?

The energy lost during the collision is converted to another form, most likely responsible for some deformation on the ball & a minute deformation on the floor, converted to some form of heat as a result of the collision or into sound energy, usually, it's a combination of all This!

Hope this Helps!!!

the magnitude of the magnetic field at point p for a certain electromagnetic wave is 2.21. What is the magnitude of the elctic f
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

6.63\times 10^8\ N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

The magnitude of magnetic field, B = 2.21

We need to find the magnitude of the electric field. Let it is E. So,

\dfrac{E}{B}=c\\\\E=Bc

Put all the values,

E=2.21\times 3\times 10^8\\\\=6.63\times 10^8\ N/C

So, the magnitude of the electric field is equal to 6.63\times 10^8\ N/C.
