1. How does the frequency of light affect the release of photons?

Physics
1 answer:
faltersainse [42]3 years ago

Answer:

1. The frequency of the incident light must be equal to or greater than the threshold frequency of the photons before emission could take place.

2. The intensity of the incident light is proportional to the amount of photons released. The higher the intensity of light, the greater the amount of photons ejected.

Explanation:

1. Photoelectric effect is the process by which light with sufficient frequency falls on the surface of a material, e.g metal, to emit electrons. The incident light must have a minimum value of required frequency for the electrons to be ejected. This energy is termed work function which is a function of frequency.

So for emission to take place, the frequency of the incident light must be equal to or greater than the threshold frequency of the photons.

2. The intensity of light is a measure of the amount of light per unit area. When the intensity of incident light increases, the probability that photons would be released increases. The intensity of the incident light is proportional to the amount of photons released.

Which electron transition produces light of the highest frequency in the hydrogen atom?
allsm [11]

Answer:

To identify the electron transition that has the highest frequency in the hydrogen atom.Answer: The frequency of light produced by electron transition is highest among the given electron transition, therefore, the option (a) is correct.Explanation:The energy of emitted light by the electron transition is given as: is the energy of the initial level. is the energy of the final level.The energy difference for the electron transition is highest among given electronic transition.The energy of the light is given as:Here, is the plank’s constant. is the frequency of the light.The energy of the light is directly proportional to the frequency of the light.Therefore the frequency of light by the electron transition is highest among given electronic transition.

A monochromatic light falls on two narrow slits that are 4.50 um apart. The third destructive fringes which are 35° apart were f
STatiana [176]

Answer:

 y = 1.19 m  and λ = 8.6036 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

This is a slit interference problem, the expression for destructive interference is

          d sin θ = m λ

indicate that for the angle of θ = 35º it is in the third order m = 3 and the separation of the slits is d = 4.50 10⁻⁶ m

          λ = d sin  θ / m

let's calculate

          λ = 4.50 10⁻⁶ sin 35  /3

          λ = 8.6036 10⁻⁷ m

for the separation distance from the central stripe, we use trigonometry

         tan θ= y / L

         y = L tan θ

the distance L is measured from the slits, it indicates that the light source is at x = 0.30 m from the slits

         L = 2 -0.30

         L = 1.70 m

           

let's calculate

        y = 1.70 tan 35

        y = 1.19 m
