Introduction: The emission of electrons from a substance due to striking of light on the surface known as
(b)
The reason that the emitted photoelectrons from the cathode have wide range of kinetic energy instead of having sane kinetic energy.
Introduction: The emission of electrons from a substance due to striking of light on the surface known as photoelectric effect. The emitted electrons are called photoelectron. In the photoelectric effect electron is ejected from the cathode plate of the tube.

I am having trouble with this part of the lab.arrow_forwardMick and Rick are twins born on Earth in the year 2175. Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut. Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c. Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes. How old is Rick when his brother dies?arrow_forward
