18. 1. What event caused the downfall of Newton’s corpuscular theory of light?What event caused the downfall of Huygen’s wave theory of light?

19. Foucalt’s discovery that light travels slower in water than in air.Einstein’s explanation of the photoelectric effect.

20. 2. Write Einstein’s equation for the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons and explain each term. Use Einstein’s equation to explain cutoff frequency.

21. KEmax = hf – wKEmax is the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons,h is Planck’s constant,f is the frequency of the photon,w is the work function

22. KEmax = hf – wIf KE is zero, then hf = w and f is the lowest it can be to overcome the work function; therefore, it is the cutoff frequency.

24. 35.385 5 km /1.180 58 x 10-4 s = 299730 km/s

25. 4. A concave mirror has a focal length of 15 cm. An object 1.8 cm high is located 20 cm from the mirror. Calculate the location and size of the image. What is its type and orientation?

31. A parallel ray is reflected through the focal point.

32. A ray through the focal point reflects parallel.

33. The rays don’t cross after reflection, so the rays must be extended to the other side of the mirror. Where they cross is the image: virtual, upright, and larger.
