Light striking a metal surface causes electrons to be emitted from the metal via the photoelectric effect.In a particular experi

ment to study the photoelectric effect, the frequency of the incident light and the temperature of the metal are held constant. Assuming that the light incident on the metal surface causes electrons to be ejected from the metal, what happens if the intensity of the incident light is increased?Check all that apply.A. The work function of the metal decreases.B. The number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases.C. The maximum speed of the emitted electrons increases.D.

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.

How long would it take to walk 10000 miles?
SpyIntel [72]
Well if you take 10 minutes to walk each mile and you don't stop by continuously walking... it would take approximately 69 and a half daysSource(s):<span>10 minutes x 10,000 miles= 100,000 minutes 
100,000 minutes/ 60 minutes (1 hour)= 1,666.66667 hours 

1,666.66667 hours/ 24 hours (1 day)= 69.4444446 days 
69.4444446 days rounds to 69.5 days which means that would be about 2 months and a week.</span>

Which of the following is a disadvantage of radio?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

option c

Explanation:

The disadvantage of the radio signal is option c) which is radio waves create electrical interference. The radio-wave interference also called as electromagnetic interference is the phenomena that occurs due to the radio waves. This phenomena affects the electric circuits. The effects includes the electromagnetic induction, conduction or electrostatic coupling.

A 19 kg solid disk of radius0.44 m is rotated about an
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

0.915 Nm

Explanation:

1 revolution = 2π rad

We can use the following equation of motion to find out the acceleration acting on the disk

\omega^2 - \omega_0^2 = 2\alpha\Delta \theta

where \omega v = 2.5 rad/s is the final angular velocity of the disk, [tex]\omega_0 = 0 rad/s is the initial velocity of the can when it starts from rest, \Delta \theta is the angular distance traveled, \alpha is the angular acceleration of the disk, which we care looking for:

2.5^2 - 0 = 2*\alpha*2\pi

\alpha = \frac{2.5^2}{2*2\pi} \approx 0.5 rad/s^2

The moment of inertia of the solid disk is:

I = \frac{1}{2}mR^2 = \frac{1}{2}19*0.44^2 = 1.8392 kgm^2

where m is the mass and R is the radius of the disk

The net torque applied is

T = \alpha*I = 0.5 * 1.8392 = 0.915 Nm

Derive a relation between Universal Gravitational Constant (G) and Acceleration due to gravity(g)?
snow_tiger [21]
Suppose earth is a soid sphere which will attract the body towards its centre.So, acc. to law of gravitation force on the body will be,
F=G*m1m2/R^2
but we now that F=ma
and here accleration(a)=accleration due to gravity(g),so
force applied by earth on will also be mg
replace above F in formula by mg and solve,
F=G*mE*m/R^2                             ( here mE is mass of earth and m is mass of body)
mg=G*mEm/R^2
so,
g =G*mE/R^2
