4) The correct answer is:
<span>B. An electron will be emitted in the second experiment, but it cannot be determined whether it will reach the second plate.
In fact, violet light has higher frequency than green light. This means that photons of violet light carry more energy than photons of green light (remember that the energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency: </span>
)<span>, so when they hit the surface of the metal, more energy is transferred to the electrons. The electron was already emitted with green light, so it must be emitted also with violet light, given the more energy transferred. The electron will also have more kinetic energy when hit by violet light, however, we cannot determine if it will reach the second plate, since we don't know how much energy has been used to extract the electron from the metal (in fact, we don't know the work function of the metal, i.e. the energy needed to extract the electron)
3) The correct answer is
</span><span>A. Violet light will cause electrons to be emitted at greater velocities than those removed by green light.
In fact, </span>violet light has higher frequency than green light. This means that photons of violet light carry more energy than photons of green light (remember that the energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency:), so when they hit the surface of the metal, more energy is transferred to the electrons. Therefore, the emitted electrons will have on average greater energy (and so, greater velocity) than those removed by green light.
