Get started for freeIn an experiment involving the photoelectric effect, if the intensity of the incident light (having frequency higher than the threshold frequency) is reduced by a factor of 10 without changing anything else, which (if any) of the following statements about this process will be true? (a) The number of photoelectrons will most likely be reduced by a factor of 10. (b) The maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons will most likely be reduced by a factor of 10. (c) The maximum speed of the ejected photoelectrons will most likely be reduced by a factor of 10. (d) The maximum speed of the ejected photoelectrons will most likely be reduced by a factor of 110. (e) The time for the first photoelectron to be ejected will be increased by a factor of 10.
In principle, does a hot gas have more mass than the same gas when it is cold? Explain. In practice, would this be a measurable effect? Explain.
Would you expect effects due to the photon nature of light to be generally more important at the low-frequency end of the electromagnetic spectrum (radio waves) or at the high-frequency end (x rays and gamma rays)? Why?
Figure 40.15a shows that the higher the energy of a bound state for a finite potential well, the more the wave function extends outside the well (into the intervals and ). Explain why this happens.
There is a certain probability that a single electron may simultaneously absorb two identical photons from a high-intensity laser. How would such an occurrence affect the threshold frequency and the equations of Section 38.1? Explain.
