Answer:

Explanation:

Photoelectric effect was discovered in 1887 by Heinrich Rudolf Hertz. It refers to the ejection or emission of electrons when light hits a material (generally metal). Emitted electrons are called photo-electrons but the intensity of the light determine the kinetic energy of emitted electron.

Intensity of light is directly proportional to the kinetic energy emitted by an electron, that means more intensity the light have more will be the kinetic energy emitted by an electron.

Answer:

Magnesium and calcium belong to the second group i. e. alkaline earth metals. They are known as earth metals because they are extracted from the earth. They are very reactive elements. Their reactivity increases when we go from top to bottom because the outermost electrons goes farther from the nucleus i. e. atomic radius increases so less energy is needed for its removal.

Pls help ASAP........ A student was roasting marshmallows over a fire. The student
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

A chemical change

Explanation:

The marshmallow turning brown and bubbling implies that a chemical change has taken place.

For chemical changes to occur, we observe any of the following:

  • a new kind of matter is formed.
  • it is always accompanied by energy changes
  • the process is not easily reversible
  • it involves a change in mass
  • requires considerable amount of energy.

ii. Two signs that shows a chemical change has taken place is that:

  • bubbles are being formed as it is roasted and it implies that new substances have been formed.
  • also, significant amount of heat energy is supplied for the roasting.
