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>

Answer:
Potential energy can be defined as the energy in a body due to its position
In simple terms potential energy is the energy at rest
Explanation: Examples ;
- A spring has more potential energy when it is compressed or stretched.
- A steel ball has more potential energy raised above the ground than it has after falling to Earth.
Electrons, everything is pretty much based around the likeliness of electrons to be swapped or shared between atoms
Answer:
what each cells job is divided
