Why do scientists believe that light is made of streams of particles?

2 answers:

8 0

Scientists believe that light is made of streams of particles because only the presence of photons can explain phenomena observed during experiments on the photoelectric effect. These observations include only some frequencies of light causing the ejection of electrons, no time gap existing between light striking a metal and electrons being ejected, and intensity having no effect on the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons.

6. The image to the right shows a moment of inertia

Trava [24]

The moment of inertia is the rotational analog of mass, and it is given by

the product of mass and the square of the distance from the axis.

The moment of inertia changes as the position of the weight is changed, which indicates that; statement is incorrect

Reasons:

The weight on each arm that have adjustable positions can be considered as point masses.

The moment of inertia of a point mass is I = m·r²

Where;

m = The mass of the weight

r = The distance (position) from the center to which the weight is adjusted

Therefore;

The moment of inertia, I ∝ r²

Which gives;

Doubling the distance from the center of rotation, increases the moment of inertia by factor of 4.

Therefore, the statement contradicts the relationship between the radius of rotation and moment of inertia.

How will the amount of power change if less work is done in more time?

yKpoI14uk [10]

The amount of power change if less work is done in more time"then the amount of power will decrease".

Option: B

Explanation:

The rate of performing any work or activity by transferring amount of energy per unit time is understood as power. The unit of power is watt

$Power = \frac{Work}{Time}$

Here this equation showcase that power is directly proportional to the work but dependent upon time as time is inversely proportional to the power i.e as time increases power decreases and vice versa.

This can be understood from an instance, on moving a load up a flight of stairs, the similar amount of work is done, no matter how heavy but when the work is done in a shorter period of time more power is required.

Which statement about an atom is correct?

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

$\boxed{ \sf{The \: electron \: has \: a \: negative \: charge \: and \: is \: found \: outside \: of \: the \: nucleus}}$

Option A is correct

Explanation:

Let's check the options:

A: The electron has a negative charge and is found outside of the nucleus.

$\mapsto{}$ Yeah! It's TRUE . An electron is a negatively charged particle and is located outside the nucleus of an atom.

B : The neutron has a negative charge and is found in the nucleus.

$\mapsto{}$ No! It's FALSE . A neutron carries no charge. i.e it is a neutral particle and found inside the nucleus.

C : The proton has no charge and is found in the nucleus.

$\mapsto{}$ No! It's FALSE.A proton is a positively charged particle present inside nucleus of an atom.

D : The neutron has no charge and is found outside of the nucleus.

$\mapsto{}$ I agree that the neutron has no charge. But it is found inside the nucleus not outside . So, this statement is FALSE .

Hence, we found our answer! :D

A. The electron has a negative charge and is found outside of the nucleus is the correct statement about an atom.

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
