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.
3

The diagram shows Niels Bohr’s model of an atom. What happens when the electron moves from the first energy level to the second energy level?

Question illustration
A
Energy is absorbed, and an emission line is produced.
B
Energy is released, and an emission line is produced.
C
Energy is absorbed by the atom.
D
Energy is lost from the atom.
4

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.
5

Which statement describes a major drawback of the Bohr model that caused scientists to replace it?

A
It worked only for helium and larger atoms.
B
It did not identify the distance between an electron and the nucleus.
C
It contradicted the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
D
It stated that spectral lines of atoms are similar.
6

Which equation was used by Albert Einstein to explain the photoelectric effect? [E = energy, h = Planck’s constant, and v = frequency.]

A
E =
Option A
B
E = hv
C
E =
Option C
D
E = h - v
7

The modern-day quantum model of the atom is better than John Dalton’s model because it

A
has set electron orbits.
B
has positive and negative particles in the nucleus.
C
can be represented in one dimension.
D
answers many questions about atoms.
8

The Bohr model of the atom explained why emission spectra are discrete. It could also be used to explain the photoelectric effect. Which is a correct explanation of the photoelectric effect according to the model?

A
Electrons are emitted with more speed when brighter light strikes them.
B
Electrons need small amounts of energy to be released from an atom.
C
Electrons move between levels only if they are hit by the right frequency of light.
D
Electrons need specific amounts of energy to jump levels and be emitted.
9

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.
10

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.
