The number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases if the intensity of the incident light is increased.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

As a result of photoelectric effect, electrons are emitted by the light incident on a metal surface. The emitted electrons count and its kinetic energy can measure as the function of light intensity and frequency. Like physicists, at the 20th century beginning, it should be expected that the light wave's energy (its intensity) will be transformed into the kinetic energy of emitted electrons.

In addition, the electrons count emitting from metal must vary with light wave frequency. This frequency relationship was expected because the electric field oscillates due to the light wave and the metal electrons react to different frequencies. In other words, the number of electrons emitted was expected to be frequency dependent and their kinetic energy should be dependent on the intensity (constant wavelength) of light.

Thus, the maximum in kinetic energy of electrons emitted increases with increase in light's frequency and is experimentally independent of light intensity. So, the number of emitted electrons is proportionate to the intensity of the incident light.

What potential difference is needed to give a helium nucleus (q=2e) 85.0 kev of kinetic energy?
Vilka [71]
The kinetic energy K given to the helium nucleus is equal to its potential energy, which is 
E=q \Delta V
where q=2e is the charge of the helium nucleus, and \Delta V is the potential difference applied to it.
Since we know the kinetic energy, we have
E=K=85~keV=q \Delta V
and from this we can find the potential difference:
\Delta V =  \frac{K}{q}= \frac{85~keV}{2e}=42.5~kV

If you went to a planet that had the twice the radius as Earth, but the same mass, a 1 kg pineapple would have a weight of
kicyunya [14]

Use the law of universal gravitation, which says the force of gravitation between two bodies of mass <em>m</em>₁ and <em>m</em>₂ a distance <em>r</em> apart is

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

where <em>G</em> = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².

The Earth has a radius of about 6371 km = 6.371 x 10⁶ m (large enough for a pineapple on the surface of the earth to have an effective distance from the center of the Earth to be equal to this radius), and a mass of about 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg, so the force of gravitation between the pineapple and the Earth is

<em>F</em> = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²) (1 kg) (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg) / (6.371 x 10⁶ m)²

<em>F</em> ≈ 9.81 N

Notice that this is roughly equal to the weight of the pineapple on Earth, (1 kg)<em>g</em>, where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, so that [force of gravity] = [weight] on any given planet.

This means that on this new planet with twice the radius of Earth, the pineapple would have a weight of

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / (2<em>r</em>)² = 1/4 <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

i.e. 1/4 of the weight on Earth, which would be about 2.45 N.

When serving a tennis ball, a player hits the ball when its velocity is zero (at the highest point of a vertical toss). The racq
Lilit [14]

Answer:60 gm

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity of ball u=0

Force exerted by racquet F=540 N

time period of force t=5\ ms

final velocity of ball v=45\ m/s

Racquet imparts an impulse to the ball which is given by

J=F\Delta t=\Delta P

J=540\times \Delta t=m(45-0)

m=\frac{540\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{45}

m=60\ gm
