Question
You have two lightbulbs of different power and color, as indicated in (Figure 1). One is a 150-WW red bulb, and the other is a 40-WW blue bulb.
Which bulb emits more photons per second?
Which bulb emits photons of higher energy?
Calculate the number of photons emitted per second by each bulb. Take λred=640nm�red=640nm and λblue=430nm�blue=430nm. (Most of the

Two of your friends are arguing over the cause of the sparking, with one stating that the microwaves "herd" electrons into "pointy" areas of the metal object, from which the electrons jump from one part of the object to another. The other friend says that the sparks are caused by the photoelectric effect. Prove or disprove the latter idea using basic physics. Suppose the typical work function of the metal is roughly 3.630 × 10-19 J. Calculate the maximum wavelength in angstroms of the radiation that will eject electrons from the metal. wavelength: Åarrow_forward
