Question 12(Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) The photoelectric effect describes when light shines on a piece of metal, and the metal releases electrons. Which model of light behavior best helps explain this effect? Particle model Wave model Electromagnetic model Frequency model

A. Particle model.

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect describes when light shines on a piece of metal, and the metal releases electrons. The model of light behavior which best helps to explain this effect is the particle model. According to Isaac Newton, he postulated that light consists of little (tiny) particles which typically travels in a straight line and from his experimental investigation he observed that white light comprises of a mixture of colors.

Sir Newton observed that, when light shines on a piece of metal, the metal releases electrons because the energy of the tiny light particles are greater than the binding energy of the electrons residing in the metal. This theory is known as the particle model of light.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.

the force represented by vector a is normal force. if the hockey puck is moving to the right, when it is hit with a significant force by the hockey stick the puck will move off in a different direction. correct on edge.
