This flow chart shows the amount of energy that is emitted by each type of light. ultraviolet > blue light > yellow light > red light (maximum energy) (minimum energy)In an experiment, shining which type of light on a strip of metal would be least likely to produce the photoelectric effect?

A
ultraviolet light
B
dim blue light
C
bright red light
D
bright yellow light
3

Light of a certain energy shines on a metal and causes electrons to be emitted. Based on the research of Albert Einstein, what change would most likely result in stopping the emission of electrons from this metal?

A
an increase in the intensity of the light
B
a decrease in the intensity of the light
C
the use of light that has a higher frequency
D
the use of light that has a lower frequency
4

Which statement about Niels Bohr’s atomic model is true?

A
Higher orbits have lower energies.
B
Each orbit has a specific energy level.
C
Electrons can exist in any energy level.
D
Orbits close to the nucleus have no energy.
5

Which observation provided Albert Einstein the clue that he needed to explain the photoelectric effect?

A
Light is made up of extremely small particles.
B
Particles that are emitted from a strip of metal are electrons.
C
Shining light on a metal strip produces emissions.
D
Energy of electrons depends on light’s frequency, not intensity.
6

Which event would be impossible to explain by using John Dalton’s model of the atom?

A
An iron atom emits particles when it is struck by light.
B
An oxygen atom combines with two hydrogen atoms to form water.
C
An acid reacts with a base to form salt and water.
D
The atoms in sodium metal react with water.
7

Which statement about the electron-cloud model is true?

A
It is the currently accepted atomic model.
B
It can easily be replaced by existing models.
C
It specifies the location and momentum of an electron.
D
It does not explain the formation of emission lines.
8

According to the Bohr model of an atom, what happens when an electron moves from the second energy level to the third energy level and then back to the second energy level?

A
Energy is absorbed and then stored in the atom.
B
Energy is released and then absorbed to form an absorption line.
C
Energy is absorbed and then released to form an emission line.
D
Energy is released from the atom, and the outer level is weakened.
9

Bohr model
B
Dalton model
C
plum pudding model
