Concept explainers
Whether electrons would be emitted from a metal for any frequency, if light behaved only as a wave.
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Answer to Problem 1RQ
True.
Explanation of Solution
In
For light with frequency less than the threshold frequency, no photoelectrons are observed even though the intensity of the light increases to maximum. This proves that light acts as particle as well as wave.
Because if the light is a classical wave, then the electrons in the metal plate must continuously observe the energy from the light until it has sufficient energy to escape the metal surface for any
Conclusion:
Thus, if light behaved only as a wave, electrons would be emitted from a metal for any frequency.

- In a naval battle, a battleship is attempting to fire on a destroyer. The battleship is a distance d1 = 2,150 m to the east of the peak of a mountain on an island, as shown in the figure below. The destroyer is attempting to evade cannon shells fired from the battleship by hiding on the west side of the island. The initial speed of the shells that the battleship fires is vi = 245 m/s. The peak of the mountain is h = 1,840 m above sea level, and the western shore of the island is a horizontal distance d2 = 250 m from the peak. What are the distances (in m), as measured from the western shore of the island, at which the destroyer will be safe from fire from the battleship? (Note the figure is not to scale.
