When set swinging together, they gradually become out of step, but are back in step each time X completes 100 oscillations. The length of Y differs from that of X by approximately 1 part in 50. Why? Please explain in details. Q2) When a beam of light of intensity I and frequency f is shone on the surface of a metal connected to earth, 200 electrons are rejected from the surface per second. If a light beam of intensity 2I and frequency 2f is used, the number of electrons ejected from the metal per second will be still 200. Why? Please explain in details. .
