Please Explain
The hotness of stars goes up to millions of degrees Celsius. The coldness of gases can go as low as -273.15 o C. How do you explain the absence of symmetry between hot and cold? Is it possible that there is also a limit to the hotness of any object in the universe? Show your step-by-step solutions.
ONLY ANSWER 3 AND USE OTHER QUESTIONS FOR CONTEXT
Suppose we have two sources of light, a deep red one with wavelength 700 nm, and a violet one with wavelength 400 nm. Both produce the same optical power, delivering 1 milliwatt (10−310−3 watts) of energy per second per square centimeter to a metal target with an area of 1cm2 located 1 meter from the sources.
1. Which color would deliver more photons each second?
All the photoelectrons that are produced from the light are presumed to be collected by another electrode and we determine the current in amperes using a circuit and an "ammeter", that is, some device that can give a precise quantitative measure of the current. Such a device might use the magnetic field generated by the current, or the voltage produced when the current flows across a resistance.
2. If the work function of the surface is 2 eV, will we see a current with both colors, one color, or neither one? If so, how much (in amperes), or if not, explain.
3. If we now…
describe the interaction of light energy and matter (How does radiation transfer energy to matter? And why/how does matter emit radiation?)
