The number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases if the intensity of the incident light is increased.
Answer: Option B
<u>Explanation:</u>
As a result of photoelectric effect, electrons are emitted by the light incident on a metal surface. The emitted electrons count and its kinetic energy can measure as the function of light intensity and frequency. Like physicists, at the 20th century beginning, it should be expected that the light wave's energy (its intensity) will be transformed into the kinetic energy of emitted electrons.
In addition, the electrons count emitting from metal must vary with light wave frequency. This frequency relationship was expected because the electric field oscillates due to the light wave and the metal electrons react to different frequencies. In other words, the number of electrons emitted was expected to be frequency dependent and their kinetic energy should be dependent on the intensity (constant wavelength) of light.
Thus, the maximum in kinetic energy of electrons emitted increases with increase in light's frequency and is experimentally independent of light intensity. So, the number of emitted electrons is proportionate to the intensity of the incident light.
Answer:
3000 J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is:
KE = ½ mv²
If m = 15 kg and v = -20 m/s:
KE = ½ (15 kg) (-20 m/s)²
KE = 3000 J
Crystalline solids must have a specific, orderly arrangement of atoms to be considered so.
Answer:
John Dalton
Explanation:
Dalton's atomic theory was the foundation for a new understanding of chemical structures. He proposed that matter was constituted by indivisible and indestructible particles "atoms." He theorized that all atoms of a particular substance were equal, and the atoms of different substances had atoms of different sizes and masses.
He also proposed that all compounds of elements were combinations of elements but in a very precise ratio.
