Questions and Answers

What is the threshold frequency in relation to photoemission?

  • The frequency at which no photoemission occurs.
  • The minimum frequency of incident radiation that can cause photoemission. (correct)
  • The highest frequency of incident radiation that can cause photoemission.
  • The average frequency of all emitted photons.
  • When calculating the refractive index using $d𝜇𝑟 = tan 30°$, what does $d𝜇𝑟$ represent?

  • The refractive index of a rarer medium with respect to a denser medium. (correct)
  • The angle of incidence.
  • The intensity of incident radiation.
  • The speed of light in a vacuum.
  • How does the intensity of radiation relate to the number of photons?

  • Intensity is inversely proportional to the number of photons.
  • Intensity is equal to the energy of a single photon.
  • Intensity has no relation with the number of photons.
  • Intensity is proportional to the number of energy quanta per unit area per unit time. (correct)

    Study Notes

    Question 1

    • The diagram for the electric field lines of two point charges is missing, so it is impossible to summarize the specific answer.

    Question 2

    • The answer is "No Change". It is unclear what concept or scenario this refers to.

    Question 3

    • Photoelectric emission: The minimum frequency of light needed to eject electrons from a material is called the threshold frequency.
    • Intensity of radiation: It is directly proportional to the number of photons per unit area per unit time.

    Question 4

    • The refractive index of a rarer medium with respect to a denser medium is calculated by the formula: 𝜇𝑟 = tan (30°), where 𝜇𝑟 is the refractive index of the rarer medium relative to the denser medium.
    • The formula to calculate the velocity of light in a medium is: v = c/µ, where c is the speed of light in a vacuum and µ is the refractive index of the medium.

    Question 5

    • Electromagnetic waves with frequencies above 30 MHz can penetrate the ionosphere layer of the Earth's atmosphere and are not reflected back.
