Answer:

Light of a shorter wavelength should be used.

Explanation:

This is studied in the phenomenon called photoelectric effect, in which light is able to release electrons from a metal, said electrons are called photoelectrons .

The experiments that have been carried out show that <u>increasing  or decreasing the intensity of the light will not cause the photoelectrons to be emitted</u>, what will cause the photoelectrons to be emitted is to increase the frequency of the incident light.

And a higher frequency corresponds to a shorter wavelength according to the equation:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

(where f is frequency, c the speed of light, and \lambda the wavelength)

So the answer is that the wavelength of the light must be shortened to cause the emission of electrones.

The eyes of many older people have lost the ability to accommodate, and so an older person’s near point may be more than 25 cm f
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Smaller refractive power

Explanation:

The refractive power of an eye is the extent to which it can converge or diverge the light rays.

Near point is the the closest point for an eye such that when an object is placed at that point the image it forms is sharp and clearly visible to the eye.

A the person ages, the ciliary muscles of the eyes weakens and as a result the lens contracts and the formation of the image takes place behind the retina instead of forming at the retina.

Thus the near point also increases and the refractive power becomes smaller.

An ice skater weighs 500 [N]. He is coasting to the right at a constant velocity of 2 [m/s]. Assume
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The net force on the skater is zero. (F_{net} = 0\,N)

Explanation:

According to Newton's First Law, an object is at equilibrium when either it is at rest or moves at constant velocity, which means a net force of zero. Based on the given statement, there are no external forces acting on skate and, therefore, the net force on the skater is zero. (F_{net} = 0\,N)

. If a pendulum-driven clock gains 5.00 s/day, what fractional change in pendulum length must be made for it to keep perfect tim
inn [45]

Answer:

The appropriate response will be "Length must be increased by 0.012%".

Explanation:

The given values is:

ΔT = 5 s/day

Now,

⇒ \frac{\Delta T}{T} =\frac{5}{24\times 60\times 60}

On multiplying both sides by  "100", we get

⇒ \frac{\Delta T}{T}\times 100 =\frac{500}{24\times 60\times 60}

⇒ \frac{\Delta T}{T}\times 100=0.005787 (%)

∵  T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ \frac{\Delta T}{T}% = \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{\Delta l}{l}%

On applying cross multiplication, we get

⇒ \frac{\Delta l}{l}% = 2\times \frac{\Delta T}{T}%

⇒        = 2\times 0.05787

⇒        = 0.011574

⇒        = 0.012%
