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

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

1.27 m

Explanation:

Distance = 192 m

number of rotations = 48

Distance traveled in one rotation = 2 x π x r

Where, r be the radius of wheel.

so, distance traveled in 48 rotations = 48 x 2 x 3.14 x r

It is equal to the distance traveled.

192 = 48 x 2 x 3.14 x r

r = 0.637 m

diameter of wheel = 2 x radius of wheel = 2 x 0.637 = 1.27 m

Explain a situation in which you can accelerate even thought your speed doesn’t change
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Explanation:

An object's acceleration is the rate its velocity (speed and direction) changes. Therefore, an object can accelerate even if its speed is constant - if its direction changes. ... Light's acceleration is zero. Since it travels in a straight line, its direction does not change.
