consider the photoelectric effect experiment. in one experiment yellow light shines on a piece of potassium metal. a current is

measured meaning electrons are ejected from the potassium metal. what would happen if the intensity of the yellow light increased
Physics

kompoz [17]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

If the intensity of the yellow light increased, meaning more photons will strike the Potassium metal per unit area. This will cause more ejection of electrons from the metal and hence, the strength of current will also increase as we know that

I = Q/t, as the charge increase , the current will also increase.

What is the 4th dimension? I have heard that it's time, it's a from of saying characteristic. I don't know I need help on this,
sashaice [31]

If you want to tell a friend about a fish you caught or a tree you cut down,
you're going to tell him WHERE you were ... its position in space, 3 numbers,
'x', 'y', and 'z' ... and also WHEN you were ... its position in time, one more
number. 

Dimensions are numbers used to describe the location of a point, and the
difference in location between two points.  With four numbers, you can exactly
describe the location of anything, and its distance from any other thing, in
space and time.

A python can detect thermal radiation from objects that differ in temperature from their environment as long as the received int
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

10.52 m

Explanation:

The power radiated by a body is given by

P = σεAT⁴ where ε = emissivity = 0.97, T = temperature = 30 C + 273 = 303 K, A = surface area of human body = 1.8 m², σ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁴ W/m²K⁴

P = σεAT⁴ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴ ×  0.97 × 1.8 m² × (303)⁴ = 834.45 W

This is the power radiated by the human body.

The intensity I = P/A where A = 4πr² where r = distance from human body.

I = P/4πr²

r = (√P/πI)/2

If the python is able to detect an intensity of 0.60 W/m², with a power of 834.45 W emitted by the human body, the maximum distance r, is thus

r = (√P/πI)/2 = (√834.45/0.60π)/2 = 21.04/2 = 10.52 m

So, the maximum distance at which a python could detect your presence is 10.52 m.

If you wanted to detect x rays coming from the sun, where would you place the detector? Why?
Damm [24]
You would have to place your sensor above earth's atmosphere because it blocks out nearly all x-rays. this is why we have the Chandra observatory

hope this helps
