g he work functions of gold, aluminum, and cesium are 5.1 eV, 4.1 eV, and 2.1 eV, respectively. If light of a particular frequen

cy causes photoelectrons to be emitted when the light is incident on an aluminum surface, explain if we know whether this means that photoelectrons are emitted from a gold surface or a cesium surface when the light is incident on those surfaces.

Answer:

Explanation:

Work function of aluminium  is  4.1 eV .

Therefor light of minimum energy of 4.1 eV will be required to cause the emission of electrons.

If we use this frequency of light or energy of light  to effect ejection of photoelectrons from cesium , it will be easily   ejected because energy requirement for this metal is lower ( work function is lower 2.1 eV ). than the energy of photon falling on it.

If we use this frequency of light or energy of light  to effect ejection of photoelectrons from aluminium  , it will be not  ejected because energy requirement for this metal is high ( work function is higher 5.1 eV ) . Even if we increase the intensity of light , electrons will not be ejected because energy of each photon depends upon the frequency .

e-lub [12.9K]
You should not go into the left side of the roadway when within 100 feet of the crossing. Moreover, you should also turn on your turn signal when within 100 of a turn. These precautions prevent accidents as it makes clear to other drivers what your intentions are and drivers making turns are not endangered.

Why do the noble gases and some other elements on the right side of the periodic table occur as gases instead of solids as do th
mash [69]

Explanation:

The left side of the periodic table has elements that have less number of electrons in the valence shell.

These elements loose electrons easily.These elements appear as metals or metalloids in nature.These are hard solids.Their inter molecular forces are very strong.

The right side of the periodic table has elements that have more number of electrons in the valence shell.

These elements gain electrons easily.These elements appear as non metals most of which are gases.Their inter molecular forces are weak.
