Which statement best describes the light that will cause emission of electrons from a given metal through the photoelectric effect?

This is an interaction between photons and the surface of the metal.


What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?

The wave that can travel through earth and along earths surface is a SEISMIC wave.


When the compound donates electrons what does that compound become?

When it donates electrons, the compound is going through a process called "ionic bonding"


Something electrons cannot move through easily?

Electrons cannot easily move through a type of material called electrical insulators. These materials tend to be plastics or rubber. Just think of the coating on wires in your home for example


How many electrons are in the filament of a light bulb?

I think you probably know that the flow of electrons causes the filament to heat up and glow when the electricity is switched on and you want to know the number of electrons in the electricity? Well, it doesn't work quite like that, the electrons are all in the electron shells of the tungsten atoms making up the filament and there are the same number of electrons in these shells (and thus he filament) whether the electricity is on or off. When electricity is on, the electrons (in the outer shells) hop from one atom to the next, no extra electrons get into the filament (electrons coming in at one end are balanced by electrons going out at the other end) While all atoms have electrons, not all elements have atoms with 'free' electrons to allow this hopping - these elements will not conduct electricity.

No. For electrons to flow, you need a current.

How we are getting such large amounts of electrons that are flowing continously from a copper in a dynamo and Is there any limit or any chance for electrons from the copper will deplete one day?

The electrons flowing from the copper in a dynamo return back to the copper through the return circuit. That is the electrons leave through the negative terminal (opposite to that of current) and re-enter through the positive terminal.
