Because over land they wont be cooled by the water, and the deeper water is, the colder it is.

When light of wavelength 240 nm falls on a cobalt surface, electrons having a maximum kinetic energy of 0.17 eV are emitted. Fin

Answer:

(a) 5.04 eV (B) 248.14 nm (c) $1.21\times 10^{15}Hz$

Explanation:

We have given Wavelength of the light \lambda = 240 nm

According to plank's rule ,energy of light

$E = h\nu = \frac{hc}{}\lambda$

$E = h\nu = \frac{6.67\times 10^{-34} J.s\times 3\times 10^{8}m/s}{ 240\times 10^{-9} m\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J/eV}= 5.21 eV$

Maximum KE of emitted electron i= 0.17 eV

Part( A) Using Einstien's equation

$E = KE_{max}+\Phi _{0}$ , here $\Phi _0$ is work function.

$\Phi _{0}=E - KE_{max}$ = 5.21 eV-0.17 eV = 5.04 eV

Part( B) We have to find cutoff wavelength

$\Phi _{0} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{cuttoff}}$

$\lambda_{cuttoff}= \frac{hc}{\Phi _{0} }$

$\lambda_{cuttoff}= \frac{6.67\times 10^{-34} J.s\times 3\times 10^{8}m/s}{5.04 eV\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}J/eV }=248.14 nm$

Part (C) In this part we have to find the cutoff frequency

$\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda_{cuttoff}}= \frac{3\times 10^{8}m/s}{248.14 \times 10^{-19} m }= 1.21\times 10^{15} Hz$

Later, while taking your groceries back to the car, you accidentally let go of your cart. It rolls straight down a grassy slope

VladimirAG [237]

Car is moving on the glassy slope with constant speed

Now we know that

$a = \frac{dv}{dt}$

so acceleration is rate of change in velocity

as we know that velocity is constant here so acceleration is zero

so here

$a = 0$

now as we know by Newton's II law

$F = ma$

since a = 0

$F = 0$

so net force will be ZERO on it during this motion

Which describes a high frequency wave?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. A high frequency wave is a wave with a low level of energy and a high pitch. Frequency is the number of waves passing per second of time. Hope this answers the question.

(f) What do you mean by: (i) 1 J energy (ii) 1 W power

max2010maxim [7]

Explanation:

Watts are defined as 1 Watt = 1 Joule per second (1W = 1 J/s)

which means that 1 kW = 1000 J/s. A Watt is the amount of energy (in Joules) that an electrical device (such as a light) is burning per second that it's running.

Please explain the method of making electricity from non renewable sources like coal?

Leno4ka [110]

The coal is urned to heat up water. this produces steam. the steam turns a turbine that turns a generator which provided energy yhat can be transferred into electrisity
