Aluminium has a work function of 4. 08 eV. The cutoff wavelength and cutoff frequency for the photoelectric effect is 303.9nm and 911.7× 10¹⁷ s⁻¹ respectively.

Work Function is the minimum energy required to eject an electron from a photoelectric material.

Cutoff Wavelength is the maximum wavelength below which electron will be ejected

Cutoff Frequency is the minimum frequency required to eject electron.

Let the work function of Aluminium be Φ

Given,  work function Φ = 4.08eV

We know that hc/λ =  Φ

where, h is Planck constant

c is speed of light

λ is wavelength of light used

Hence, on subsitution

1240 / λ = 4.08 eV          (hc = 1240)

⇒ λ = 303.9 nm

Hence, cutoff wavelength used is 303.9 nm

We know that ν = c/λ

ν = 3 × 10⁸ / 303.9

⇒ ν = 911.7 × 10¹⁷ s⁻¹

Hence, cutoff frequency used is 911.7 × 10¹⁷ s⁻¹

What does it mean that are bodies are in osmotic equilibrium but chemical and electrical disequilibrium? Why? What molecules are
Whitepunk [10]

Explanation:

The point is that water is moving smoothly but that the solutes are not.Even though the containers are chemically different (chemical disequilibrium), once all the solutes in one container are contrasted to all the solutes in another container, both have the same total solutes concentrations (this means that they are in osmotic balance).

A cat, walking along the window ledge of a new york apartment, knocks off a flower pot, which falls to the street 280 feet below
Harlamova29_29 [7]
H = 280 ft, the height of the flower pot.
g = 32 ft/s²

Neglect air resistance.
Note that 1 ft/s = 15/22 mi/h

The initial vertical velocity is zero.
Let v =  the velocity with which the flower pot hits the ground.
Then
v² = 2gh
    = 2*(32 ft/s²)*(280 ft)
    = 17920 (ft/s)²
v = 133.866 ft/s

Also,
v = (133.866 ft/s)*(15/22 (mi/h)/(ft/s)) = 91.272 mi/h

Answer:  133.9 ft/s or 91.3 mi/h

Please help I'll mark brainliest!!!!

This question is based on the fundamental assumption of  vector direction.

A vector is  a physical quantity which has  magnitude as well direction  for its complete specification.

The magnitude of a physical quantity is simply a  numerical number .Hence it can not be negative.

A negative vector is a vector which comes into existence when it is opposite to our assumed direction with respect to any other vector.  For instance, the vector is taken positive if it is along + X axis and negative if it is along - X axis.

As per the first option it is given that a vector is negative if its magnitude is greater than 1. It is not correct as magnitude play no role in it.

The second option tells that the magnitude of the vector is less than 1. Magnitude can not be negative. So this is also wrong.

Third one tells that a vector is negative if its displacement is along north. It does not give any detail information about the negativity of a vector.

In a general sense we assume that vertically downward motion  is negative and vertically upward is positive. In case of a falling object the motion is  vertically downward. So the velocity of that object is negative .

So last   option is  partially  correct  as  the vector can be negative depending on our choice of co-ordinate system.
