Answer: Sunlight

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is essential to all life on earth; both plants and animals depend on it. It is the only biological process that can capture energy that originates in outer space (sunlight) and convert it into chemical compounds (carbohydrates) that every organism uses to power its metabolism.

Plants also convert sunlight into other forms of energy. In this case plants convert light energy (1) into chemical energy, (in molecular bonds), through a process known as photosynthesis. Most of this energy is stored in compounds called carbohydrates.

In the picture of a planet in orbit around its star area a is double that of area b. What is true of the time the planet takes t

aalyn [17]

The Kepler's laws predict the planetary motion, so there are three laws for this, namely:

1. The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun (the sun is a star!) at one of the two focus.

2. A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.

3. The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

So, let's use second law. The Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time means that if A = B, the time the planet takes to travel A1A2 is equal to the time the planet takes to travel B1B2, but given that A = 2B, then takes twice the time to travel A1A2 compared to B1B2.

In the photoelectric effect, the greater the frequency of the illuminating light, the greater the:_______

TEA [102]

Answer:

B. Maximum velocity of ejected electrons.

Explanation:

The ejection of electrons form a metal surface when the metal surface is exposed to a monochromatic electromagnetic wave of sufficiently short wavelength or higher frequency (or equivalently, above a threshold frequency), which leads to the enough energy of the wave to incident and get absorbed to the exposed surface emits electrons. This phenomenon is known as the photoelectric effect or photo-emission.

The minimum amount of energy required by a metal surface to eject an electron from its surface is called work function of metal surface.

The electrons thus emitted are called photo-electrons.

The current produced as a result is called photo electricity.

Energy of photon is given by:

$E=h.\nu$

where:

h = Planck's constant

$\nu=$ frequency of the incident radiation.
