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.

Higher mass protostars enter the main sequence: at the same rate, but at a higher luminosity and temperature. slower and at a lo
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

<em>faster and at a higher luminosity and temperature.</em>

Explanation:

A protostar looks like a star but its core is not yet hot enough for fusion to take place. The luminosity comes exclusively from the heating of the protostar as it contracts. Protostars are usually surrounded by dust, which blocks the light that they emit, so they are difficult to observe in the visible spectrum.

A protostar becomes a main sequence star when its core temperature exceeds 10 million K. This is the temperature needed for hydrogen fusion to operate efficiently.

Stars above about 200 solar masses (Higher mass) generate power so furiously that gravity cannot contain their internal pressure. These stars blow themselves apart and do not exist for long if at all. A protostar with less than 0.08 solar masses never reaches the 10 million K temperature needed for efficient hydrogen fusion. These result in “failed stars” called brown dwarfs which radiate mainly in the infrared and look deep red in color. They are very dim and difficult to detect, but there might be many of them, and in fact they might outnumber other stars in the universe.

That is why higher mass protostars enter the main sequence at a <em>faster and at a higher luminosity and temperature.</em>
