Answer:

"Greek Origins" were the first philosophers to propose that atoms existed.

Explanation:

The idea that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles, or atoms, is believed to have originated with the Greek philosopher Leucippus of Miletus and his student Democritus of Abdera in the 5th century B.C. (The word atom comes from the Greek word atomos, which means “indivisible.”)

Electrons are ejected from a metallic surface with speeds of up to 4.60 3 105 m/s when light with a wavelength of 625 nm is used

Darya [45]

Complete question:

Electrons are ejected from a metallic surface with speeds ranging up to 4.60 x10⁵ m/s when light with a wavelength of 625nm is used. (a) What is the work function of the surface? (b) What is the cutoff frequency for this surface?

Answer:

Part(a) The work function of the surface is 22.177 x 10⁻²⁰ J = 1.384 eV

Part(b) The cutoff frequency for this surface is 3.347 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

The kinetic energy (KE) of the emitted photon:

KE = 0.5mv²

m is mass of electron = 9.1 X 10⁻³¹ kg

KE = 0.5 * 9.1 X 10⁻³¹ * (460000)² = 9.628 X 10⁻²⁰ J

in eV = 9.628 X 10⁻²⁰ J x 6.242 X 10¹⁸ ev = 0.601 eV

The photon energy of the incoming radiation:

E = hf = hc/λ

c is speed of light (photon) = 3 x 10⁸

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s

E = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ *3 x 10⁸) /(625 X 10⁻⁹)

E = 31.805 X 10⁻²⁰ J

in eV = 31.805 X 10⁻²⁰ J x 6.242 X 10¹⁸ ev = 1.985 eV

Part (a) the work function of the surface

KE = hf - W

where;

W is work function

W = hf - KE

W = 31.805 X 10⁻²⁰ J - 9.628 X 10⁻²⁰ J = 22.177 x 10⁻²⁰ J

in eV = 22.177 x 10⁻²⁰ J x 6.242 X 10¹⁸ ev = 1.384 eV

Part(b) the cutoff frequency for this surface

W =hf

f = W/h

f = (22.177 x 10⁻²⁰ J)/(6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s)

f = 3.347 x 10¹⁴ Hz

What will happen if you increse the amplitude of a drum hit

expeople1 [14]

The sound is perceived as louder if the amplitude increases, and softer if the amplitude decreases. As the amplitude of the sound wave increases, the intensity of the sound increases. Sounds with higher intensities are perceived to be louder.

Does temperature affect the amount of sugar that dissolved in tea? Why

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Generally, a solute dissolves faster in a warmer solvent than it does in a cooler solvent because particles have more energy of movement. For example, if you add the same amount of sugar to a cup of hot tea and a cup of iced tea, the sugar will dissolve faster in the hot tea.
