Best Answer

Once the electrons hit a spoke of the wheel, The spoke gets heated on one side. This causes the gas next to the spoke to expand. As the gas expands, it pushes the side of the spoke that was heated. This results in the rotation of the wheel.

What occurs when light strikes a metal and electrons are released?

The electrons in the electron sea absorb and re-emit the light.

What occurs when light causes electrons to move when it hits some substances?

The electrons absorb the light energy, which excites them.


Why the wave model for radiation does not account for the photoelectric effect?

Predictions of the wave model: Energy of light was dependent on the amplitude of the light wave, which was manifested as the brightness of the light. Higher amplitude (brighter) light would cause the ejected electrons to be more energetic. Colour of light was dependent on the frequency of the light but frequency had no bearing on the energy of the ejected photons. Predictions of the photon model: Both the energy of light and the colour of light was dependent on the frequency of the photons. Higher frequency would cause the the ejected electrons to be more energetic. The number of photons was manifested as the brightness of the light. Higher number of photons (brighter) light would cause the ejected electrons to be more numerous (higher current). Observations from the photoelectric effect experiment: Ejected electron energy was directly related to the frequency of the light and brighter light resulted in higher current. These observations were explained by the photon model and could not be explained with the wave model.


What is the effect of doubling the intensity of light on the number of electrons being emitted from a metal?

Visible light of a different frequency is a different color. Visible light of a higher frequency is closer to the violet end of the spectrum. If the frequency of a light source were increased, then the wavelength of its emission would decrease, because the product of (frequency) x (wavelength) is always the same number for all light in the same medium.

what is responsible for electricity?

Electricity is the movement of electrons between atoms. It is inexorably linked to magnetism (and light) - moving electrons create a magnetic field and a magnetic field will cause electrons to move in a conductor and when electrons lose energy light is created.
