When the voltage across the electrodes is zero volts, the ammeter reads zero current.
Would the ammeter read zero current or a non-zero current if you were to:
- Double the intensity of the light source? Explain.
- Increase the voltage across the electrodes from 0 V to
- Replace the nickel electrode with one made of aluminum

What minimum path length is needed to introduce a phase shift of 205° in light of wavelength 566 nm? (Give your answer in nm.)
What phase shift will that path difference you calculated in part (a) introduce in light of wavelength 799 nm? (Give you answer in degree.)
If you shine an ultraviolet light on the metal ball of a negatively charged electroscope (shown in Exercises 1 and 2), it will discharge. But if the electroscope is positively charged, it won’t discharge. Can you venture an explanation?
1. An electroscope is a simple device consisting of a metal ball that is attached by a conductor to two thin leaves of metal foil protected from air disturbances in a jar, as shown. When the ball is touched by a charged body, the leaves that normally hang straight down spread apart. Why? (Electroscopes ate useful not only as charge detectors but also for measuring the quantity of charge: the more charge transferred to the ball, the more the leaves diverge.)
Two loudspeakers are placed above and below each other, as in the figure below, and driven by the same source at a frequency of 4.40 ✕ 102 Hz. An observer is in front of the speakers (to the right) at point O, at the same distance from each speaker. What minimum vertical distance upward should the top speaker be moved to create destructive interference at point O? (Let h = 2.58 m and use v = 343 m/s.)
