Question
Explain the photoelectric effect when the radiation is incident on different metals?
✓
Answer
→Metals like Zinc $( Zn )$, Cadmium (Cd) Magnesium ( Mg ) get a photoelectric effect by incidenting ultraviolet light of sufficient frequency on them.
→Some alkali metals such as Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Cesium (Cs) and Rubidium (Rb) exhibit a photoelectric effect when exposed to visible light. These metals are called light sensitive (photosensitive) metals.

In the Rutherford's nuclear model of the atom, the nucleus (radius about $10^{-15} m$ ) is analogous to the sun about which the electron move in orbit (radius $\approx 10^{-10} m$ ) like the earth orbits around the sun. If the dimensions of the solar system had the same proportions as those of the atom, would the earth be closer to or farther away from the sun than actually it is? The radius of earth's orbit is about $1.5 \times 10^{11} m$. The radius of sun is taken as $7 \times 10^8 m$.
