In an experiment different wavelengths of light, all able to eject photoelectrons, shine on a freshly prepared (oxide-free) zinc surface. Which statement is true?
 a. The number of photoelectrons emitted per second is independent of the intensity of the light for all the different wavelengths.
  b. The number of photoelectrons emitted per second is directly proportional to the frequency for all the different wavelengths.
  c. The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted is directly proportional to the frequency for each wavelength present.
  d. The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons has a linear relationship with the frequency for each wavelength present.
  e. The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is proportional to the intensity of the light and independent of the frequency.

Question 2

What is the maximum kinetic energy (in eV) of a photoelectron when a surface, whose work function is 5.0 eV, is illuminated by photons whose wavelength is 400 nm?
 a. 3.1
  b. -1.9
  c. 1.9
  d. 0
  e. 1.2

Amoebae are the simplest type of protozoans, and are characterized by a feeding and dividing trophozoite stage that moves by temporary extensions called pseudopodia or false feet.

Adolescents often feel clumsy during puberty because during this time of development, their hands and feet grow faster than their arms and legs do. The body is therefore out of proportion. One out of five adolescents actually experiences growing pains during this period.

Chronic marijuana use can damage the white blood cells and reduce the immune system's ability to respond to disease by as much as 40%. Without a strong immune system, the body is vulnerable to all kinds of degenerative and infectious diseases.

Less than one of every three adults with high LDL cholesterol has the condition under control. Only 48.1% with the condition are being treated for it.

Did you know?

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. As of yet, there is no cure. Everyone is at risk, and there may be no warning signs. It is six to eight times more common in African Americans than in whites. The best and most effective way to detect glaucoma is to receive a dilated eye examination.
