Question
Which of the following statements should be true for the spectral lines shown here in the light from a Mercury lamp?
Answer choices:
The brighter spectral lines result from photons with higher energy striking the reflective surface of the detector.
Gold light will require a higher stopping voltage than violet light.
Photons in the blue spectral line have higher energy than those in the green spectral line.
Photons in the ultraviolet (UV) spectral line have lower energy than those in the green line.
A photon of UV light which directly strikes the coating on the back of the photodiode tube should eject an electron with a higher Kinetic Energy than a photon of gold light directly striking the same spot.
