Abeam of light hits a sheet of metal. if it has enough energy, electrons break free from the metal sheet.
which choice correctly describes the behavior of light in this situation?
1. in this situation, light behaves as a particle colliding with another object. this is because increasing the energy in the light beam releases more electrons from the metal, but does not increase the energy carried by each electron.
2. in this situation, light behaves as a particle colliding with another object. this is because increasing the energy in the light beam increases the energy carried by each electron but does not increase the number of electrons released.
3.in this case, light acts like a wave because it requires the total energy of a wave to dislodge the electron. increasing the energy in the light beam releases more electrons and increases the energy carried by each electron.
4.in this case, light acts like a wave because it requires the total energy of a wave to dislodge the electron. increasing the energy in the light beam doesn’t releases any more electrons but it does increase the energy carried by each electron.

The key to stability is feedback between the reservoir and the fluxes into and/or out of the reservoir. assume that the rate of outflow from a reservoir depends on the size of the reservoir according to the following relationship: outflow rate= k x (size of reservoir), where k is a constant. a reservoir of water has a volume of 5000 liters, and the rate of outflow at steady state is 25 liters per minute. what is k? (give both the numerical value and its units.) what is the residence time? what is the relationship between k and the residence time?

Light from a sodium lamp passes through a diffraction grating that has 1000 slits per millimeter. the interference pattern is viewed on a screen 1.000 m behind the grating. the first (m = 1) two bright yellow fringes that are visible are 0.7288 m and 0.7300 m from the central maximum. what are the wavelengths of these two fringes?
