Answer:

Energy of electrons depends on light's frequency, not intensity.

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect was discovered by physicist Henrich Hertz. Albert Einstein, in 1905, modernized the concepts of this effect when he realized that the energy of electrons depends on the frequency of light, not on intensity.

The discovery of this effect occurred between 1886 and 1887 by Henrich Hertz, who used classical physics to explain it. The classical concepts made the conception of this phenomenon insufficient, giving way to the modern concepts proposed by Albert Einstein in 1905.  Among Einstein's proposals are the quantization of energy, that is, for the occurrence of immediate electron ejection from the surface, the radiation energy (electromagnetic waves) would be concentrated in packages (photons) and not distributed over the wave (classical prediction). It also demonstrated that the speed at which electrons are ejected does not depend on the amount of photons emitted, but on the frequency of these photons.

How did the entry of the United States into World War I influence the conflict?
madam [21]

Answer:

It helped Allies stop a German offensive and support a counteroffensive that led to Germany's defeat.

Explanation:

I'm not entirely sure of the answer, but through the process of elimination I've made my way here. I know it's not the first one, because although we had a poorly trained military, we were not short on supplies.

I know it's not the third one, because obviously the United States entering the war had an effect on it. Even though there was a German blockade we most likely could've gotten through it.

It's probably not four because saying that the United States entering the war immediately caused the capture of Berlin is a bit extreme- all though the United States entering the war caused it to end quickly, it was still around a year.
