What is the ultimate source of energy that makes the Sun shine?

Physics
1 answer:
zavuch27 [327]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The sun's energy comes from thermonuclear fusion reactions.

Explanation:

Due to the Sun's strong gravitational pull, hydrogen atoms fuse, resulting in helium atoms. During this process, tremendous amounts of energy are released, or the energy of the Sun.

Red light of wavelength 651 nm produces photoelectrons from a certain photoemissive material. Green light of wavelength 521 nm p
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

material work function is 0.956 eV

Explanation:

given data

red wavelength 651 nm

green wavelength 521 nm

photo electrons = 1.50 × maximum kinetic energy

to find out

material work function

solution

we know by Einstein photo electric equation  that is

for red light

h ( c / λr ) = Ф +  kinetic energy

for green light

h ( c / λg ) = Ф +  1.50 × kinetic energy

now from both equation put kinetic energy from red to green

h ( c / λg ) = Ф +  1.50 × (h ( c / λr ) - Ф)

Ф =( hc / 0.50) × ( 1.50/ λr  - 1/ λg)

put all value

Ф =( 6.63 ×10^{-34} (3 ×10^{8} )  / 0.50) × ( 1.50/ λr  - 1/ λg)

Ф =( 6.63 ×10^{-34} (3 ×10^{8} ) / 0.50 ) × ( 1.50/ 651×10^{-9}   - 1/ 521 ×10^{-9})

Ф = 1.5305  ×10^{-19} J  × ( 1ev / 1.6 ×10^{-19} J )

Ф = 0.956 eV

material work function is 0.956 eV

What is the bouncing of light when it changes media
matrenka [14]

When light passes from one medium to another, part of it continues on
into the new medium, while the rest of it bounces away from the boundary,
back into the first medium.

The part of the light that continues on into the new medium is <em>transmitted</em>
light.  Its forward progress at any point in its journey is <em>transmission</em>. 

Its direction usually changes as it crosses the boundary.  The bending is <em>
refraction</em>
.

The part of the light that bounces away from the boundary and heads back
into the first medium is <em>reflected</em> light.  The process of bouncing is <em>reflection</em>.

The given function represents the position of a particle traveling along a horizontal line. s(t) = 2t3 − 3t2 − 36t + 6 for t ≥ 0
igor_vitrenko [27]

1) The velocity of the particle is given by the derivative of the position. So, if we derive s(t), we get the velocity of the particle as a function of the time:

v(t)=s'(t)=(2t^3-3t^2-36t+6)'=6t^2-6t-36

2) The acceleration of the particle is given by the derivative of the velocity. So, if we derive v(t), we get the acceleration of the particle as a function of the time:

a(t)=v'(t)=(6t^2-6t-36)'=12t-6

Calculate the energy equivalent in joules of the mass of a proton
Tamiku [17]
The problem should only have one part to it, but this one has two.
Before I can do the mass/energy conversion, I have to go and
look up the proton mass for myself ... go out and collect the straw
to make my bricks, as it were.  As if the fabulous bounty of 7 points
makes it worth it.  They make us do everything around here.

OK.  In my Physics book⁽¹⁾, the proton rest mass is

                       1.67 x 10⁻²⁷  kg.

The formula that relates mass to the equivalent energy is

                        E = m c²  .

The method of applying the formula is known as "plug in what you know",
as follows:

                       E  =  (mass) x (speed of light)²

                          =  (1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg) x (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²

                         =  (1.67 X 10⁻²⁷ Kg) x (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²) 

                          =        (1.5 x 10⁻¹⁰)  (kg-m²/s²)

                          =            1.5 x 10⁻¹⁰  joule .
