In the photoelectric effect, electrons are ejected by matter only if they are given energy from light of a high enough frequency. It does not matter how bright the light source is; only frequency matters. Which reasoning explains why particles are better than waves for describing this phenomenon? a.) The energy from the waves of light coming from bright lights would add up and free an electron.
b.) The energy from photons of light should be enough to knock out an electron, no matter what the frequency of light is, because it is moving so fast.
c.) The energy from photons of light would never be enough to free electrons because they don't have the same energy if they are just particles.
d.) The energy from light waves is canceled out by interference at low energies, but not at high energies, so it can free electrons with bright light.

The nuclear potential that binds protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is often approximated by a square well. imagine a proton conned in an innite square well of length 105 nm, a typical nuclear diameter. calculate the wavelength and energy associated with the photon that is emitted when the proton undergoes a transition from the rst excited state (n 2) to the ground state (n 1). in what region of the electromagnetic spectrum does this wavelength belong?

Materials will have different energies associated with the electrons inside them. this is related to how strongly bound they are by their work function. if we sandwich a material with a very low energy between two materials with a high energy, we create a trap for an electron. if this trap is very narrow in one direction in comparison to the others, this is approximately a 1-dimensional box that confines the electron. what is the lowest energy of an electron in the box if the thinnest direction across the materials is 4.81 nm?
