The diagram shows a circuit involving a photoelectric cell. When UV light is shone onto the metal cathode, electrons are emitted establishing a photocurrent. Which of the following changes could cause the photocurrent to stop?

Increasing the potential difference of the power supply.

Increasing the frequency of the UV light.

Increasing the intensity of the UV light.

Changing the metal surface to one with a smaller work function.

The photoelectric effect helps us to understand

diffraction pattern produced as light passes through a single slit.

Why do we see colors when we look at neon signs?

Electrons are jumping from an excited state to a normal state and giving off energy

Electrons are jumping from a normal state to an excited state and absorbing energy

Electrons are jumping from an excited state to a normal state and absorbing energy

Electrons are jumping from a normal state to an excited state and giving off energy

How is the Quantum Mechanical Model different from Bohr's planetary model?

The QMM shows the probability of the electron's location.

The planetary model shows the probability of the electron's location.

The QMM shows the exact location of the electron.

The QMM does not include a nucleus.

In his experiment, Rutherford concluded that atoms have a nucleus because

some of the particles were deflected back towards the alpha source.

most of the particles went straight through the foil.

some of the particles were deflected near the front of the screen.

not enough information is given.
