A photocell is based upon the photoelectric effect. A light beam illuminates a metallic plate, and under certain conditions electrons are ejected from the metal. In order to measure the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons, another plate is kept at a negative enough potential that the emitted electrons are slowed down and stopped.
Explain how the particle-like aspect of light can explain the following:
(i) the absence of delay in the observation of current,
(ii) the existence of a cut-off frequency which is independent of the intensity of light,
(iii) the fact that the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons only depends on the frequency, not the intensity.

Acaterpillar tries to climb straight up a wall a meter high, but for every 2 cm up it climbs, it slides down 1 cm. eventually, it reaches the top. when it reaches the top, it does not pull itself over so it will slide down 1 cm. what is the total displacement traveled?
