You might think that an ultraviolet light shining on an initially uncharged electroscope would cause the electroscope to become

positively charged as photoelectrons are emitted. In fact, ultraviolet light has no noticeable effect on an uncharged electroscope. Why not

Answer:

Positively Charge formation on the electroscope pulls the electrons so no emission happens.

Explanation:

Photoelectric effect is the process by which the electrons get ejected when light of certain frequency falls on the material. The energy from the electromagnetic radiation excites the electron by providing it enough energy as a result it gets ejected.

The Ultraviolet(UV) light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, If the UV radiation strikes an uncharged electroscope, it is predicted that it will cause the electrons in the electroscope to excite and to be emitted.  But on the contrary no noticeable effect is observed on the electroscope this happened because when UV light makes the electroscope positively(+) charged this creates a pull for the electrons, as a result rather emitting the electrons gets pulled by the positively charged electroscope.

Therefore the positively charge formation on the electroscope hinder the electrons emission and there is no noticeable effect.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

10m/s^2

Explanation:

Force = mass x acceleration

Acceleration = force/ mass

= 20000000/2000000

=10m/s^2
