Answer

2) 1.5×10-2 m

Explanation

The potential difference is related to the electric field by:

\Delta V=Ed (1)

where

\Delta V is the potential difference

E is the electric field

d is the distance

We want to know the distance the detectors have to be placed in order to achieve an electric field of

E=1 V/cm=100 V/m

when connected to a battery with potential difference

\Delta V=1.5 V

Solving the equation (1) for d, we find

d=\frac{\Delta V}{E}=\frac{1.5 V}{100 V/m}=0.015 m=1.5 \cdot 10^{-2} m

In the photoelectric effect, the greater the frequency of the illuminating light, the greater the:_______
TEA [102]

Answer:

B. Maximum velocity of ejected electrons.

Explanation:

The ejection of electrons form a metal surface when the metal surface is exposed to a monochromatic electromagnetic wave of sufficiently short wavelength or higher frequency (or equivalently, above a threshold frequency),  which leads to the enough energy of the wave to incident and get absorbed to the exposed surface emits electrons. This phenomenon is known as the photoelectric effect or photo-emission.

The minimum amount of energy required by a metal surface to eject an electron from its surface is called work function of metal surface.

The electrons thus emitted are called photo-electrons.

The current produced as a result is called photo electricity.

Energy of photon is given by:

E=h.\nu

where:

h = Planck's constant

\nu= frequency of the incident radiation.
