 a. the white surface experiences twice the change in momentum of the black surface.

 b. The light beams exert no pressure on any of the surfaces because light is just energy.

 c. Both beams exert the same pressure on the surfaces.

 d. The high-frequency beam exerts more pressure on the surfaces.

 b. 1/4 of the energy is in the electric field and are 3/4 in the magnetic field.

 c. Doubling the amplitude of the electric field quadruples the energy carried by the waves.

 d. Doubling the amplitude of the magnetic field doubles the energy carried by the waves.

    According to Einstein's photoelectric effect, as long as the threshold frequency was met, brighter intensity light would increase the current of the cell. What was his reasoning for this? Brighter light contains more photons, all of which have enough energy to eject an electron from a given atom. Brighter light contains photons of higher mass that can hit electrons with more force, knocking them away from their atoms. Brighter light contains waves of larger amplitude which can hit more than...
