By photoelectric effect, the remaining energy is 3.82 x 10¯¹⁹ joule.

The photoelectric effect occurs when electrons are emitted from metal when the metal is struck by light of certain frequencies. The electrons produced by the photoelectric effect have maximum kinetic energy proportional to stopping potential energy from the metal which can be determined as:

Kmax = e.Vo

where Kmax is maximum kinetic energy and Vo is stopping potential energy.

From the question above, we know that:

Kmax = 0.61 eV = 9.77 x 10 ¯²⁰ joule

λ = 415 nm = 415 x 10¯⁹ m

Light energy is

E = hc / λ

E = 6.63 × 10¯³⁴ . 3 x 10⁸ / ( 415 x 10¯⁹ )

E = 4.79 x 10¯¹⁹ joule

Hence the remaining energy is

ΔE = E - Kmax

ΔE = 4.79 x 10¯¹⁹ - 9.77 x 10 ¯²⁰

ΔE = 3.82 x 10¯¹⁹ joule

How do amplitude and frequency affect light energy? help asap !!!!!!
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
So, I’m assuming that we’re treating light as a propagating wave.


Amplitude measures the amount of energy transported by a wave, thus amplitude squared is directly proportional to the light’s energy. The higher the amplitude, the higher the energy.


Energy is also directly proportional to the frequency of a wave, the higher the frequency, the higher the energy.

I took my second answer from the formula below:

The two major parts of the optical telescope
nydimaria [60]
The "objective" (lens or mirror) is the major major major part of
the optical telescope.  It's really the only part you need in order
to make a telescope (besides something to hold the objective).
You can put a piece of film or a CCD right at the focal point of
the objective lens or mirror and capture 'images' (pictures) there.

If you want to use the telescope for looking through and seeing stuff
with your eye, then you need the other major part ... the eyepiece lens.

Two trumpet players are trying to tune their instruments. When they are in tune, they will both be playing the same note and no
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The second trumpeter will be playing at frequency = 515 Hz

Explanation: Given that the note sounds lower and they can hear 20 beats in 4.0 s. 

Beat frequency = 20/4 = 5 Hz

Beat frequency = F2 - F1

5 = 520 - F1

F1 = 520 - 5

F1 = 515 Hz

Since the note sound lower, the second trumpeter will be playing at 515 Hz frequency

elena55 [62]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Exothermic refers to a RELEASE of energy through a reaction(usually chemical). When salt dissociates, polar water molecules pull apart ions, releasing energy.
