Chapter 13, Problem 21SEQ
Explain all answers clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk (*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.
*21. Uniformity of the cosmic Microwave Background. The temperature of the cosmic microwave background differs by only a few parts in 100,000 across the sky. Compare this level of uniformity to that of the surface of a square table that is 1 meter on each side: How big would the largest bumps on that table be if its surface were smooth to 1 part in 100,000? Could you see bumps of that size on the table’s surface with your naked eyes?

ONLY ANSWER 3 AND USE OTHER QUESTIONS FOR CONTEXT
Suppose we have two sources of light, a deep red one with wavelength 700 nm, and a violet one with wavelength 400 nm. Both produce the same optical power, delivering 1 milliwatt (10−310−3 watts) of energy per second per square centimeter to a metal target with an area of 1cm2 located 1 meter from the sources.
1. Which color would deliver more photons each second?
All the photoelectrons that are produced from the light are presumed to be collected by another electrode and we determine the current in amperes using a circuit and an "ammeter", that is, some device that can give a precise quantitative measure of the current. Such a device might use the magnetic field generated by the current, or the voltage produced when the current flows across a resistance.
2. If the work function of the surface is 2 eV, will we see a current with both colors, one color, or neither one? If so, how much (in amperes), or if not, explain.
3. If we now…
