Get started for freeYou are conducting a photoelectric effect experiment by shining a light of 500 nmwavelength at a piece of metal and determining the stopping potential. If, unbeknownst to you, your 500 nm source actually contained a small amount of ultraviolet light, would it throw off your results by a small amount, or by quite a bit? Explain.
Show that the laws of momentum and energy conservation forbid the complete absorption of a photon by a free electron, (Note: This is not the Photoelectric effect in the photoelectric effect, the electron is not free: the metal participates in momentum and energy conservation).
Radiant energy from the sum arrives at Earth with an intensity of. Making the rough approximation that all photons are absorbed, find (a) the radiation pressure and (b) the total force experienced by Earth due to this “solar wind”.
A flashlight beam produces 2.5 W of electromagnetic radiation in a narrow beam. Although the light it produces is white (all visible wavelengths), make the simplifying assumption that the wavelength is 550 nm, the middle of the visible spectrum. (a) How many photons per second emanate from the flashlight (b) What force would the beam exert on a “perfect mirror”?
A beam of light strikes a barrier in which there is a narrow single slit. At the very center of a screen beyond the single slit, photons are detected per square millimeter per second.
(a) What is the intensity of the light at the center of the screen?
(b) A secood slit is now added very close to the first. How many photons will be detected per square millineter per sec and at the center of the screen now?
