Physics AS - photoelectric effect?
So the question asked, 'State what is meant by the photoelectric effect?' (1)
I answered, 'When photons of energy greater than the work function of the metal are incident, they will cause electrons to be emitted.'
In the mark scheme it talked about the threshold frequency. I'm a bit confused when I'd use the threshold frequency or the work function in my answer?
Thanks
3 AnswersPhysics4 years agoAmino Acids - A level chemistry help!?
I know amino acids can form hydrogen bonds because of the amine and carboxylic acid group, so they are soluble in water. But are they are polar molecules, or will dissolve in a polar solvent that isn't water? Does the R chain matter if its polar or not, i.e it could be hydrophobic or hydrophilic.
The questions is about TLC with amino acids dotted on the base line and asks if a more polar solvent if used how will that change the Rf value? (These amino acids have a hydrophobic R group)
Thank you!!

2 AnswersEngineering6 years agoWhy won't my girlfriend have sex with me?
I've been dating her for 7 months, and she says she just doesn't want to have sex. In her last relationship it was very sexual, so I'm confused why she won't have it with me, is it she doesn't love me, as it's called 'making love', or is it something else?
Thanks
