Answer:

The wavelength of light is 68 nm.

Explanation:

Given data:

Binding energy of electron = 176 × 10³ Kj/ mol or   (1.76× 10⁶ j/mol)

Wavelength of light require to remove the  electron = ?

Solution:

E = hc / λ

h = planck constant (6.63×10⁻³⁴ J/s)

c = speed of light = (3×10⁸ m/s)

The energy require per electron is

1.76 × 10⁶ j / 6.02× 10²³ = 2.92 × 10⁻¹⁸ J

Now we will put the values in formula,

E = hc / λ

λ =  hc / E

λ = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ m².kg.s⁻¹ . 3×10⁸ m/s / 2.92 × 10⁻¹⁸ J

λ = 19.89×10⁻²⁶ m /2.92 × 10⁻¹⁸   (m².kg.s⁻² = J)

λ = 6.8 ×10⁻⁸ m

λ = 6.8 ×10⁻⁸ × 10⁹

λ = 68 nm

Which of the following has potential energy but no kinetic energy? Longitudinal sound waves An arrow shot from a bow A compresse
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

A compressed spring

Explanation:

A compressed spring has potential energy only and no kinetic energy.

This is because kinetic energy is only possessed by particles in motion.

Energy in a compressed spring= -1/2kx² where x is the displacement.

In this equation there is no velocity so there is no kinetic energy.

Which statement describes a scientific theory?
vichka [17]
Best Answer
C) is the best description, although a scientific theory is not necessarily a "fact". They are, however, based on evidence.

A) is complete garbage.

B) is a good description of a scientific "law"- something that predicts how a certain event will occur without explaining why this is (for instance, the law of gravity accurately describes the gravitational forces between two bodies, but does not explain why these forces are there).

D) is a scientific "hypothesis"- an explanation for an observed phenomena that is yet to be proven.
