Question

This flow chart shows the amount of energy that is emitted by each type of light. ultraviolet > blue light > yellow light > red light (maximum energy) (minimum energy) In an experiment, shining which type of light on a strip of metal would be least likely to produce the photoelectric effect?

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is red light

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

In photoelectric effect , radiation of some energy is made to fall on metal plate which results in the ejection of electrons by the metal plate . The kinetic energy of electrons comes from the energy of radiation falling on metal plate . Some of energy of radiation falling on metal plate is used in the process of bringing the  electron to  the surface and it is called threshold energy . The radiation must have at least this energy to see to it that electrons are ejected .  and the rest of the energy of radiation is used in imparting kinetic energy to the  electron .

The red light radiation has least energy so it is least likely to eject electrons from metal plate and produce photoelectric effect .
