When visible light, X rays, gamma rays, or other forms of electromagnetic radiation are shined on certain kinds of matter, electrons are ejected. That phenomenon is known as the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect was discovered by German physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857–1894) in 1887. You can imagine the effect as follows: Suppose that a metal plate is attached by two wires to a galvanometer. (A galvanometer is an instrument for measuring the flow of electric current.) If light of the correct color is shined on the metal plate, the galvanometer may register a current. That reading indicates that electrons have been ejected from the metal plate. Those electrons then flow through the external wires and the galvanometer. HOPE THIS HELPED

What dose fixed supply mean? Tell what a fixed supply curve looks like and heat it’s appearance means
devlian [24]

Answer:

The quantity of some goods or productive factors is totally fixed, whatever their price, for example, there is only one Mona Lisa from Da Vinci.

Explanation:

Nature's original endowment of land can also be considered fixed. A rise in the price offered for land cannot create yet another corner at the junction of 57th Street with Fifth Avenue in New York City. A rise in the pay of famous athletes is unlikely to alter their effort. When the quantity supplied is constant at all prices, what is paid to use such a factor of production is called economic rent or pure economic rent.

When supply is independent of price, the supply curve is vertical in the relevant interval. The land continues to contribute to production regardless of its price. The increase in demand for a fixed factor only affects the price. The quantity supplied does not vary and the rise in price is exactly the same as the upward shift in demand.

When a tax is applied to a fixed good or service, it is paid entirely by (or "transferred" to) the supplier (for example, by the landowner), who absorbs it in its entirety, losing part of its economic income. The consumer buys exactly the same amount as before the good or service without costing mor

The potential energy of a particle experiencing a certain kind of force is given by U(x) = 2x + 8 x measured in joules (J), for
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Potential Energy of a particle is given by U(x)=2x+\frac{8}{x}

For minimum or maximum Potential Energy differentiate U(x) w.r.t x

\frac{\mathrm{d} U}{\mathrm{d} x}=2-\frac{8}{x^2}

putting \frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} x}=0

2-\frac{8}{x^2}=0

x^2=\frac{8}{2}

x^2=4

x=\sqrt{4}=\pm 2

To know minimum value check \frac{\mathrm{d^2} U}{\mathrm{d} x^2}

at x=-2

\frac{\mathrm{d^2} U}{\mathrm{d} x^2}=\frac{16}{x^3}=-\frac{16}{8}=-2

so at x=-2 potential energy is minimum U=-8\ J
