Which phenomenon can only be explained by assuming that light is quantized

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.

Do you have a lawn mower engine running for 20 minutes does 4,560, 000 J of work. What is the power output of the engine?
alekssr [168]

Answer:

P = 3800 W

Explanation:

Power is equal to energy divide by time P = E/t

plug in 4560000 J for energy

convert 20 minutes to seconds

20 * 60 = 1200 seconds

plug in 1200 seconds for time

P = 4560000/1200

P = 3800 W

Old cannons were built on wheeled carts, both to facilitate moving the canon and to allow the canon to recoil when fired. When a
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

34 m/s

Explanation:

The law of conservation of linear momentum dictates that the sum of initial and final momentum should be equal. Momentum is a product of mass and velocity.

Since the canon recoils, its recoil velocity is opposite hence

MV=nu where M and n are mass of cannon and cannoball respectively, v and u are the velocities of cannon and cannon balls respectively.

Substituting 200 kg for M and 1.7 m/s for v then 10 kg for n

200*1.7=10u

U=200*1.7/10=34 m/s
