An experiment is designed to test what color of light will activate a photoelectric cell the best. The photocell is set in a cir

cuit that "clicks" in response to current. The faster the current, the more clicks per minute. In this experiment, the number of clicks in one minute is recorded for each color of light shining on the photocell. To change the color of light, a different color of cellophane is placed over the same flashlight and the flashlight is then located a specific distance from the photocell. Which of the following would be the best hypothesis for this experiment? Red light will activate the photocell to the highest degree. If photoelectric cells respond better to short wavelengths of light, the red light should activate it the least and blue the most. Photoelectric cells are affected by different wavelengths of light.

A photoelectric cell is an electronic device which is used to convert light energy into electric energy.The operation of this device is based on photoelectric effect.

Light of suitable frequency i.e greater or equal to threshold frequency will fall on the cathode maintained at negative potential.The electron emission will take place and these electrons are drifted towards the anode which is at positive potential.

Here,only those radiations will be capable of emitting electrons irrespective of surface barrier of metals whose energy is greater than the work function.

We know that the radiation having long wavelength has least energy as energy and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.

Mathematically\ energy\ E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Here h is the Planck's constant,c is the velocity of light.

Here we have been given red light and blue light.

In the visible spectrum of radiation, the red light has longer wavelength than all other colors of light.Hence blue light has more energy as it's wavelength is less as compared to red light.

Hence, the blue light will activate the most and red the least.

A coin is placed on a large disk which rotates uniformly at a rate of 1 rot/s. The coefficient of friction between the coin and
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

r = 0.02 m

Explanation:

from the question we have :

speed = 1 rps = 1x 60 = 60 rpm

coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.1

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

maximum distance without falling off (r) = ?

to get how far from the center of the disk the coin can be placed without having to slip off we equate the formula for the centrifugal force with the frictional force on the turntable force

mv^2 / r =  m x g x μ

v^2 / r =  g x μ  .......equation 1

where

velocity (v) = angular speed (rads/seconds) x radius

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2π}{60} ) x rpm

angular speed (rads/seconds) = (\frac{2 x π}{60} ) x 60 = 6.28 rads/ seconds

now

velocity = 6.28 x r = 6.28 r

now substituting the value of velocity into equation 1

v^2 / r =  g x μ

(6.28r)^2 / r = 9.8 x 0.1

39.5 x r = 0.98

r = 0.02 m

How long does it take a glass of salt water to freeze than a glass of fresh water
max2010maxim [7]
A glass of salt water will take a slightly longer time & slightly lower temperature (28 F as compared to 32 F for fresh water)  to freeze than a glass of fresh water. 

Hope this helps!
