A photocell is based upon the photoelectric effect. A light beam illuminates a metallic plate, and under certain conditions electrons are ejected from the metal. In order to measure the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons, another plate is kept at a negative enough potential that the emitted electrons are slowed down and stopped.
Explain how the particle-like aspect of light can explain the following:
(i) the absence of delay in the observation of current,
(ii) the existence of a cut-off frequency which is independent of the intensity of light,
(iii) the fact that the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons only depends on the frequency, not the intensity.

Two particles of masses m and 2m are placed on a smooth horizontal table. a string, which joins these two masses, hangs over the edge supporting a pulley, which suspends a particle of mass 3m.the pulley has negligible mass. the two parts of the string on the table are parallel and perpendicular to the edge of the table. the hanging parts of the string are vertical. find the acceleration of the particle of mass 3m.
