Answer:

Proxima Centuri is 9 orders of magnitude further from New York compared to Perth

Explanation:

Distance of Proxima Centuri to New York = 4 × 10^16 meters

Distance of Proxima Centuri to Perth = 11000 miles

Since 1 mile = 1609 meters, distance to Perth in meters = 11000 × 1609

Distance to Perth = 17699000 = 1.7699 × 10^7 meters

Order of magnitude of the distances of Proxima Centuri to New York and Perth = 10^16/10^7

Order of magnitude = 10^9

Therefore, Proxima Centuri is 9 orders of magnitude further from New York compared to Perth.

What does the photoelectric effect prove?
Elza [17]

Answer:

<em>By showing that changing the frequency of light causes the emission of faster electrons. </em>

Explanation:

<em>The photoelectric effect happens when light strikes a metal surface causing the emission of electrons from it (photoelectrons). </em>

<em>If you increase the intensity of the light you get, as acresult, more electrons emitted but their kinetic energy does not increase. </em>

<em>If you increase the frequency of the incident light the number of photoelectrons emitted does not increase while the velocity, and so their kinetic energy, increases...the emitted electrons are more...energetic! </em>

<em> </em>

<em>This can be explained considering the incident light as a shower of particle-like packets of energy (photons); if you increase the intensity you simply increase the number of packets (all with the same energy) hitting the metal; these can be used by a lot of electrons to escape. </em>

<em>On the other hand if you increase the frequency the number of packets remains the same (emitting fewer electrons perhaps) but the energy carried by each of them increases. </em>

<em>Each packet carries an energy directly proportional to the frequency.</em>
