Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of increasing the intensity of light on the energy of emitted photoelectrons?
  • Step 1: Understand that photoelectrons are electrons that are emitted from a material when it absorbs light.
  • Step 2: Know that the intensity of light refers to how bright the light is, which means more light photons are hitting the material.
  • Step 3: Realize that when you increase the intensity of light, you are increasing the number of photons hitting the material.
  • Step 4: Understand that more photons can lead to more photoelectrons being emitted because there are more chances for electrons to be knocked out.
  • Step 5: Remember that the energy of the emitted photoelectrons depends on the frequency (color) of the light, not the intensity.
  • Step 6: Conclude that increasing the intensity of light increases the number of emitted photoelectrons but does not change their energy.
