If electrons are ejected from a given metal when irradiated with a 10-W red laser pointer, what will happen when the same metal is irradiated with a 5-W green laser pointer? (a) Electrons will be ejected, (b) electrons will not be ejected, (c) more information is needed to answer this question. Group of answer choices

(b) electrons will not be ejected

Explanation:

Determine the number of photons ejected by 10 W red laser pointer.

The wavelength (λ) of red light is  700 nm = 700 x 10⁻⁹ m

Energy of a photon is given as;

where;

h is Planck's constant, = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s

c is speed of light, = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The number of photons emitted by 10 W red laser pointer

10 W = 10 J/s

Determine the number of photons ejected by 5 W red green pointer

The wavelength (λ) of green light is  500 nm = 500 x 10⁻⁹ m

The number of photons emitted by 5 W green laser pointer

5 W = 5 J/s

The number of photons emitted by 10 W red laser pointer is greater than the number of photons emitted by 5 W green laser pointer.

Thus, 5 W green laser pointer will not be able to eject electron from the same metal.

The correct option is "(b) electrons will not be ejected"

causes

fossil fuels burn

cities become more industrialized

human population grows worldwide

pretty sure it's false
