Serjik [45]3 years ago

<h2>Answer: The Photoelectric Effect</h2>

Light can be considered as a wave or as particles, in this context Einstein proposed that light behaves like a stream of particles called <u>photons</u> with an energy, in order to correctly explain the photoelectric effect.

This fenomenom consists in the emission of electrons (electric current) that occurs when light falls on a metal surface <u>under certain conditions. </u>

So, if we consider light as a stream of photons and each of them has energy, this energy is able to pull an electron out of the crystalline lattice of the metal and communicate, in addition, a <u>kinetic energy</u>.

This means the photoelectric effect can only be explained based on the corpuscular model of light, that is, light is quantized.

Suppose a soccer player kicks the ball from a distance 29 m toward the goal. find the initial speed of the ball if it just passe
Rudik [331]

The ball's vertical velocity at the time it just passes over the goal is 0 m/s. Its initial vertical velocity is unknown and we denote it by v\sin39^\circ, where v here is the ball's initial speed. Vertically, the only force acting on the ball is gravity, which attributes a downward acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2. We expect the maximum height achieved by the ball to be 2.4 m, so we can find the initial speed by solving

\left(0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2-\left(v\sin39^\circ\right)^2=2\left(-9.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2.4\,\mathrm m)

\implies v=11\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}
