what did classical physics predict about electron flow as a result of light shining on a metal surface?

This looks like the photo electric effect ... classical physics reckoned that if you shone an intense enough light beam on a metal you could get electrons ejected from the metal (maybe in analogy to thermionic emission - heat). It sort of "forgot" about the frequency and photon/particle nature of light.
Enter the "photo electric" effect experiment, Einstein's explanation, and the Nobel committee having an excuse to award E a Nobel prize, even though said prize was probably more for relativity.

Rufina [12.5K]
This assumption is correct. The emissivity of a substance is the ratio of the energy radiated from a body to the energy radiated from a black body (perfect emitter). Because these stars reflect negligible radiation compared to the amount they emit.

Which of the following determines the range of spectral lines produced during electron transition?. . A.The total number of ener
KengaRu [80]

Answer: A.The total number of energy levels the electron can jump to.

Explanation:

Spectral lines are bright or dark lines over continuous spectrum which occur due to emission or absorption of energy.

When an electron jumps to or from one energy level to another energy level, spectral lines are produced. The range of spectral lines depends on the number of energy levels available to which the electron can jump. This depends the amount of energy gained/lost by the electron.

Thus, the correct answer is: A.The total number of energy levels the electron can jump to.
