1.a) A scientist shines lights at a metal, but does not detect the release of any electrons. In classical theory, what should the scientist do to make some electrons be ejected?
b) Once electrons are being emitted, what effect will increasing the intensity of the light have?
c) What effect will increasing the frequency have?
2. Calculate the energy of a photon with wavelength 550 nm.
