Explanation & Answer

1. Threshold frequency is the minimum frequency that produces an electron, so the kinetic energy of the electron in this case should be zero, hence from the graph, at K.E = 0, we obtain frequency = 0.5 E 14 Hz, which is the fourth choice.2. This graph poses a slope that equals to Planck’s constant, we can see this from the relation K.E = h- Work function, so our slope will be constant for whatever massive particle we use and it’ll equal Planck’s constant, hence the correct choice is the third one.3. Half-life time is the time needed for the radioactive substance to loose half of its mass as a radiation, hence we can detect that only half of its mass is left, and from the graph, we started by 50 mg, so half the mass is 25 mg, and from the graph, this happens at t=1 min, which is the first choice.4. We can do this question by starting at t=0 and the mass is 50 mg, the first half-life time we got at t=1 and the mass then is 25 mg, once more the time should be t=2 and the mass left is 12.5 mg, do it once more, time should be t=3 and the mass now is 12.5/2 = 6.25 mg. Counting the number of half-live times till we reach 6.25 mg, we get that it reached it in 3 times, so the correct choice is the second one.5. Again like the previous question, we got the 6.25 mg after 3 min, and we can get this also from the graph, so the correct choice is the second one.6. Ordering the mass of electron, neutron and proton ascendingly, means starting from the lowest to the highest, we know that electron is way less than proton and neutron, and the neutron is slightly more than proton, so the order should be: Electron, Proton, Neutron, which is the fourth choice.7. The number of protons is the atomic number, while the number of protons + neutrons give the mass number, hence the number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number, putting this into symbols gives: N=A-Z, which is the fourth choice.8. The force that overcome the electrostatic repulsion between pr...
