Electrons are emitted from the surface of a metal when it's exposed to light. This is called the photoelectric effect. Each metal has a certain threshold frequency of light, below which nothing happens. Right at this threshold frequency, an electron is emitted. Above this frequency, the electron is emitted and the extra energy is transferred to the electron.
The equation for this phenomenon is KE=hv-hv0 where KE is the kinetic energy of the emitted electron, h=6.63x10^-34 J. s is Planck's constant, v is the frequency of the light, and v0 is the threshold frequency of the metal.
Also, since E=hv, the equation can also be written as KE=E-E0
where E is the energy of the light and E0 is the threshold energy of the metal.
Here are some data collected on a sample of cesium exposed to various energies of light.

Ill give brainiestif one neutron initiates a fission event that produces two neutrons in the products, how many new reactions can now be initiated? if each of the neutrons produced in the first fission event then initiates a fission event that produces one neutron in the products, how many new reactions can now be initiated by each neutron? how many neutrons in total were produced by the two fission events described?
