A laser emits a beam of light whose photons all have the same frequency. When the beam strikes the surface of a metal, photoelec

trons are ejected from the surface. What happens if the laser emits twice the number of photons per second

Answer:

the no. of ejected electrons per second will increase.

Explanation:

In photoelectric effect, when a light is incident on a metal surface it ejects some electrons from the metal surface. The energy of photon of light must be equal to or greater than the work function of that metal. All the extra energy above the work potential appears as the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons. So, greater he energy of photon greater will be the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons.

A single photon interacts with a single electron and ejects it only if its energy is greater than work function. So, the increase in no. of photons per second means an increase in the intensity of laser beam. And greater no. of photons, will interact with greater no. of electrons. So, <u>the no. of ejected electrons per second will increase.</u>

algol [13]
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "a. Constructive interference." The kind of process that can create "rogue" waves is constructive interference. Constructive interference refers to <span>the </span>interference<span> of two or more waves of equal frequency and phase creating a mutual one.</span>

1<br> Verify the identity. Show your work.<br><br> cot θ ∙ sec θ = csc θ
Fittoniya [83]
To verify the identity, we can make use of the basic trigonometric identities:
cot θ = cos θ / sin θ 
sec θ = 1 / cos <span>θ
csc </span>θ = 1 / sin θ<span>

Using these identities:
</span>cot θ ∙ sec θ = (cos θ / sin θ ) (<span> 1 / cos </span><span>θ)
</span>
We can cancel out cos <span>θ, leaving us with
</span>cot θ ∙ sec θ = 1 / sin θ
cot θ ∙ sec θ = = csc <span>θ</span>

Why do you think a human needs only one egg at a time
babunello [35]
Because we can reproduce with just one and if more eggs were released, the female reproductive life (which is 40 years) would be shorter and so there would be less time for every female human to reproduce since the amount of eggs is limited. (Also fraternal twins come from 2 eggs released at the same time)
