Answer:

B. The number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases.

Explanation:

Light consists of photons . Energy of each photon depends upon frequency of light . The increase in intensity increases the number of photons . It does not increase energy of photons .

So if a high intensity light falls on a photosensitive plate , each photon ejects one electron . So number of electrons increases if we increase intensity of photon. It does not increase kinetic energy of ejected electrons . Work function depends upon the nature of plate.

See the diagram above. Which of the following is the best prediction of what would happen if you increased the distance in secti
Inessa [10]

By the definition of wavelength, the answer is the letter D, the wavelength would decrease.

We can see in the diagram a wave motion.

A wave has some characteristics:

  • Has an amplitude, the distance from 0 to the crest (highest point in the y-direction, point (3) in the figure) it would see in the figure as (2)
  • Has wavelength, the distance between the crests.
  • Has a trough, the lowest point in the y-direction.

Now, if we increase the distance of the crests, by the definition shown above, we will increase the wavelength.

Therefore, the answer is letter D, the wavelength would increase.

Two charges, each of 2.9 microC are placed at two corners of a square 50cm on a side, If the charges are on one side of the squa
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are 146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C and 75.36°.

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge q_{1}= 2.9\mu C

Second chargeq_{2}= 2.9\mu C

Distance between two corners r= 50 cm

We need to calculate the electric field due to other charges at one corner

For E₁

Using formula of electric field

E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r'^2}

Put the value into the formula

E_{1}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\sqrt{2}\times10^{-2})^2}

E_{1}=52200=52.2\times10^{3}\ N/C

For E₂,

Using formula of electric field

E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}

Put the value into the formula

E_{2}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\times10^{-2})^2}

E_{2}=104400=104.4\times10^{3}\ N/C

We need to calculate the horizontal electric field

E_{x}=E_{1}\cos\theta

E_{x}=52.2\times10^{3}\times\cos45

E_{x}=36910.97=36.9\times10^{3}\ N/C

We need to calculate the vertical electric field

E_{y}=E_{2}+E_{1}\sin\theta

E_{y}=104.4\times10^{3}+52.2\times10^{3}\sin45

E_{y}=141310.97=141.3\times10^{3}\ N/C

We need to calculate the net electric field

E_{net}=\sqrt{E_{x}^2+E_{y}^2}

Put the value into the formula

E_{net}=\sqrt{(36.9\times10^{3})^2+(141.3\times10^{3})^2}

E_{net}=146038.69\ N/C

E_{net}=146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C

We need to calculate the direction of electric field

Using formula of direction

\tan\theta=\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}}

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}})

\theta=75.36^{\circ}

Hence, The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are 146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C and 75.36°.
