Answer:

Particle

Explanation:

To understand photoelectric effect the physicists has to view light as a particle and not wave. The wave nature of the light could not explain the phenomenon of photoelectric effect.

Photoelectric effect is emission of electrons from a material when electromagnetic radiation(Light) is incident on it. These emitted electrons are called photoelectrons.

The explain this effect Einstein proposed that beam of light is can not be a wave propagating through space, but a swarm of discrete energy packets, called as photons.

"what information does the slope of the line give you when graphing the pressure versus 1/volume at constant temperature for 1 m

Rashid [163]

Hello!

The slope of the line given by graphing pressure vs 1/Volume at constant temp for one mole of gas will give you the value for nRT from equation PV=nRT

So set nRT=slope and take the constant number mole of gas and the constant temp and solve for R the universal gas constant. You arm for pressure and litters for volume to get R in units of L*atm/mol*k

Hope this helps you! Thanks!!

If Neptune’s mass were reduced, what could be done to maintain the same force of gravitational attraction between Neptune and th

Alenkinab [10]

Make Neptune closer to the sun because then it would have a stronger gravitation pull. Because the closer the objects are, they will have a stronger gravitaional force and when the object has more mass, the gravity is also stronger. So, if the mass is reduced, the gravity force would be reduced, but if you bring neptune closer, the gravity force would increase
