(1mk)  Photo-voltaic effect is the process that generates voltage or electric current in a photo-voltaic cell when it exposed to sunlight. 14. You are provided with a clean Zinc plate, a leaf electroscope, a charging rod and a source of ultra-violet (U.V.). Describe briefly with the aid of a diagram how photo- electric effect may be demonstrated. (5mks) 15. Sketch on the same axes the graphs of photo-electric current (y-axis) against the voltage for two different intensities A1 and A2 of ultra-violet where A1> A2 (3mk) 16. Describe with the aid of a labeled diagram an experimental set-up for observing the photoelectric effect. Negatively charged Ultra violet light zinc plate Gold leaf falls immediately the zinc plate is illuminated with ultra violet light

Explain the following observation i) The leaf of the electroscope falls.  Photoelectrons emitted from negatively charged zinc plate are repelled and electroscope becomes discharged causing the lf divergence to fall. ii) When the same experiment was repeated with a positively charged, the leaf did not fall.  Photoelectrons emitrted from positively charged zinc plate are attracted back i.e they do not escape. Thus leaf divergence remains. 18. A candle is used to heat the cap of a charged electroscope as shown in the figure below. Explain the following observation i) It is observed that the electroscope leaf falls after sometime. Explain why the leaf falls after some time.  Heat from the candle causes emission of electrons from the cap of charged electroscope. Emitted electrons repelled by negative charges discharges the electroscope causing the electroscope leaf to fall. ii) State with a reason the likely charge of the electroscope.  Negatively charged. Negative charges repel emitted electrons discharging the electroscope.
