The photoelectric effect supports a particle theory of light in that it behaves like an elastic collision (one that conserves mechanical energy) between two particles, the photon of light and the electron of the metal.

The photoelectric effect is the ability to knock electrons off of the atoms on the surface of a solid by shining a light at it. For some colors of light, it doesn’t matter how bright and intense the light is, no electrons separate from the solid. For other colors of light, it doesn’t matter how dim and weak the light is, electrons do separate from the solid. The dividing line between the colors that do and the colors that don’t is a certain wavelength of light, the one where each particle of light has at least enough energy to rio an electron away from an atom. If each particle of light has less energy than that, then no matter how many particles there are, they can’t separate electrons from their atoms. If each particle of light has more energy than that, than it doesn’t matter how few of them there are. A single particle can rip and electron away from the electron as it comes flying away from the surface.

Compare the type of change that occurs when an iron bar rusts and when a substance freezes.
Ivanshal [37]

Explanation:

when an iron bar rust is an example of a chemical change in which a new substance is formed and the change is not easily reversible.for iron to rust moisture and air must be present.while when a substance freezes,it can be easily reversed through melting and no new substance is formed.this change is termed a physical change.

4.Identify each substance in the following word equation as a reactant or a product
Anastaziya [24]

Explanation:

4.                 limestone heat lime + carbon dioxide

The reactants in this expression above is limestone

The products of the reaction is carbon dioxide and lime

Reactant is the species that gives the product and it is usually found on the left hand side of the expression.

The product is the substance on the right hand side of the expression that forms through the experiment.

Heat is used to facilitate the reaction.

5. An exothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is given off.

An endothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is absorbed in the process.

An exothermic reaction is always warmer after the reaction whereas an endothermic reaction is colder at the end of the reaction.
