Answer:

<em>b. There will be more electrons emitted.</em>

Explanation:

In photoelectric emission, the energy of the emitted electron is dependent on the frequency of the wave incident on the plate; but not the intensity. The rate of electron emission per unit time however depends on the intensity of the incident light. So increasing the intensity of the light at constant frequency will only affect the number of electrons emitted per unit time.

Why are infrared waves located between microwaves and visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum?
dangina [55]

Answer: The infra red waves is located between microwave and visible light based on their WAVELENGTH and FREQUENCY of occurrence.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are those waves that do not require or need a material medium for its propagation, but they are able to travel through a vacuum. They exhibit or show all properties associated or connected with light. They are undeflected in electric and magnetic fields. These electromagnetic waves are arranged in order of their FREQUENCY and WAVELENGTHS which is known as ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM.

FREQUENCY is defined as the number of cycles which the wave completes in one second and is measured in Hertz(Hz). While WAVELENGTH is defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of waves which is measured in meter (m).

The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of the following rays which is arranged from the biggest wavelengths to the smallest:

--> Radiowaves

--> microwave :

--> infrared rays:

--> visible light:

--> ultraviolet rays

--> x-rays and

--> Gamma rays.

According to the arrangement of the spectrum above, the microwave has a higher wavelength and frequency than the infrared rays, while the visible light has a lower wavelength and frequency than the infrared rays.

Two canoeists in identical canoes exert the same effort paddling and hence maintain the same speed relative to the water. One pa
Serga [27]

Answer:

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s

Explanation:

v_r = Speed of river

v_c = Speed of canoe

v_r+v_c=2.8\ m/s

v_r-v_c=-1.9\ m/s

Adding the equations we get

2v_r=0.9\\\Rightarrow v_r=\frac{0.9}{2}\\\Rightarrow v_r=0.45\ m/s

0.42+v_c=2.8\ m/s\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.8-0.45\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.65\ m/s

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s

NISA [10]

Answer:

We show added energy to a system as +Q or -W

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that, in an isolated system, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed;

Energy is added to the internal energy of a system as either work energy or heat energy as follows;

ΔU = Q - W

Therefore, when energy is added as heat energy to a system, we show the energy as positive Q (+Q), when energy is added to the system in the form of work, we show the energy as minus W (-W).
