what did classical physics predict about electron flow as a result of light shining on a metal surface?

This looks like the photo electric effect ... classical physics reckoned that if you shone an intense enough light beam on a metal you could get electrons ejected from the metal (maybe in analogy to thermionic emission - heat). It sort of "forgot" about the frequency and photon/particle nature of light.
Enter the "photo electric" effect experiment, Einstein's explanation, and the Nobel committee having an excuse to award E a Nobel prize, even though said prize was probably more for relativity.

In Step 5, you will calculate H+/OH– ratios for more extreme pH solutions. Find the concentration of H+ ions to OH– ions listed
Liono4ka [1.6K]
You must know the concept of pH of a solution and its relation to the concentration of H+ and OH- ions. pH is a measure of the substance's acidity or basicity. From the definition of Arrhenius, an acid contains an H+ while a base contains a OH- ion. From this definition, we can say that an acidic substance has a higher concentration of H+ ions. Now, I'll introduce here that pH is the value of the negative logarithm of the concentration of H+. In equation,
pH = -log[H+]
The term pOH is therefore also, pOH = -log[OH-]. Therefore, the relationship that connects the two negative logarithms is:
pH + pOH = 14
The pH scale starts from 1 being the most acidic to 14 being the most basic. The neutral pH is 7. Thus, for a pH of 7, the H+ and the OH- concentrations are equal. 
pH = 7 = -log[H+][H+] = 1×10⁻⁷ mol/L = [OH-]
Since the concentrations are equal, the ratio is equal to 1.

A flat circular loop of wire of radius 0.50 m that is carrying a 2.0-A current is in a uniform magnetic field of 0.30 T. What is
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic torque on the loop when the plane of its area is perpendicular to the magnetic field is 0.4713 J

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular loop of wire = 0.5 m

current in circular loop of wire = 2 A

strength of magnetic field in the wire = 0.3 T

τ = μ x Bsinθ

where;

τ is the magnitude of the magnetic torque

μ is the dipole moment of the magnetic field

θ is the inclination angle, for a plane area perpendicular to the magnetic field, θ = 90

μ = IA

where;

I is current in circular loop of wire

A is area of the circular loop = πr² = π(0.5)² = 0.7855 m²

μ = 2 x 0.7885 = 1.571 A.m²

τ = μ x Bsinθ =  1.571 x 0.3 sin(90)

τ = 0.4713 J

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic torque on the loop when the plane of its area is perpendicular to the magnetic field is 0.4713 J
