More massive things are slower, so the longer pendulum is slower, which explains the difference. Q2: The bias level for the material is 200 e- for the given area. At this point the system is saturated, so no matter how much more light is shown onto it there will be no change in the amount of emissions. P.S. Don't post class assignments to newsgroups. .
