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>

Acid mine drainage is:
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Acid mine drainage is dissolved toxic materials wash from mines into nearby lakes and streams.

Explanation:

Acid mine drainage is the flow of acidic water with pH typically between 2 and 4, and high concentrations of other dissolved toxic materials from mines into nearby lakes and streams. It mainly occurs during metal sulfide mining, when the metal sulfide ore such as pyrite (FeS2) is exposed to water and oxygen from air to produce soluble iron and sulfuric acid.

Microorganisms, especially acidophile bacteria like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grow by pyrite oxidation, i.e., oxidizing the Fe²⁺ in pyrite to Fe³⁺, which again react with pyrite and water to produce sulfuric acid. Then the acidic water flows into nearby water sources and reduces the pH value of water in those sources. As a result, heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury, etc in other mineral ores also get dissolved into the water. The action of acidophile bacteria also increases the rate and degree of acid-mine drainage process.

The acid mine drainage causes water pollution and adversely affect the aquatic plants and animals. It also results in the contamination of drinking water, corrosion of infrastructures such as bridges, etc.

A wave has a velocity of 24 m/s and a period of 3.0 s. Calculate the wavelength of the wave.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Velocity (unit:m/s) of the wave is given with the formula:

v=f∧,

where f is the frequency which tells us how many waves are passing a point per second (unit: Hz) and ∧ is the wavelength, which tells us the length of those waves in metres (unit:m)

f=1/T , where T is the period of the wave.

In our case: f=1/3

∧=v/f=24m/s/1/3=24*3=72m
