When the light of wavelength is falling on gold surface, the electrons begin to exchange energies.

a)The work function in eV is Φ =5.097 eV.

b) The cut-off wavelength is λ₀ = 243.71 nm

c) The frequency is ν₀  =1.231 × 10¹⁵ Hz

<h3>What is work function?</h3>

The energy needed for a particle to escape and break through the surface.

The kinetic energy of the light emitted is 2.66 eV and wavelength of the light is 160 nm = 160 × 10⁻⁹ m.

a) The work function of the gold for given maximum kinetic energy is

Φ = hc / λ  - K.Emax

Substituting 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s for h, 3 × 10⁸ m/s for c and 2.66 eV for K.Emax, work function will be

Φ =8.16 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

1 eV = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹

The work function in eV is Φ =5.097 eV.

b) The cutoff wavelength is related to work function as

λ₀ = hc / Φ

Substitute the corresponding values into the equation, we get the cut off wavelength

λ₀ = 243.71 nm

c) The frequency corresponding to the cut-off wavelength is

ν₀ = c / λ₀

Substitute the corresponding values into the equation, we get the frequency,

ν₀  =1.231 × 10¹⁵ Hz

Therefore, the values for the following are

a)The work function in eV is Φ =5.097 eV.

b) The cut-off wavelength is λ₀ = 243.71 nm

c) The frequency is ν₀  =1.231 × 10¹⁵ Hz

What is the relation between Physical states of solution and solvent
posledela

Explanation:

The solute does not have to be in the same physical state as the solvent, but the physical state of the solvent usually determines the state of the solution. As long as the solute and solvent combine to give a homogeneous solution, the solute is said to be soluble in the solvent.

Please someone help me.

Answer:

acceleration of the car is 3 m\s^2

Explanation:

from rest means the initial velocity (vi) is zero

time = 5s

final velocity (vf) = 15m\s

a = vf - vi \ t

a = (15-0) \ 5

a= 3 m\s^2

which means that the car is speeding up 3 meters every second

Two large parallel conducting plates carrying opposite charges of equal magnitude are separated by 2.20 cm. Part A If the surfac
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

5308.34 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Surface density of each plate (σ) = 47.0 nC/m² = 47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2

Separation between the plates (d) = 2.20 cm

We know, from Gauss law for a thin sheet of plate that, the electric field at a point near the sheet of surface density 'σ' is given as:

E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

Now, as the plates are oppositely charged, so the electric field in the region between the plates will be in same direction and thus their magnitudes gets added up. Therefore,

E_{between}=E+E=2E=\frac{2\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

Now, plug in  47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2 for 'σ' and 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m for \epsilon_0 and solve for the electric field. This gives,

E_{between}=\frac{47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2}{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m}\\\\E_{between}= 5308.34\ N/C

Therefore, the electric field between the plates has a magnitude of 5308.34 N/C
