A sample of silver (with work function Φ=4.52 eV ) is exposed to an ultraviolet light source (wavelength=200 nm), which results in the ejection of photoelectrons. What changes will be observed if:
The silver is replaced with cesium (Φ=2.14 eV) ?
no photoelectrons are emitted
more energetic photoelectrons (on average)
less energetic photoelectrons (on average)
fewer photoelectrons ejected
more photoelectrons ejected
-
Half of the ultraviolet light from the source is blocked?
fewer photoelectrons ejected
no photoelectrons are emitted
more energetic photoelectrons (on average)
less energetic photoelectrons (on average)
more photoelectrons ejected
-
The ultraviolet source is replaced with a red laser that emits the same number of photons per unit time as the original ultraviolet source?
no photoelectrons are emitted
fewer photoelectrons ejected
more energetic photoelectrons (on average)
more photoelectrons ejected
less energetic photoelectrons (on average)
