A xenon arc lamp is covered with an interference filter that only transmits light of 400-nm wavelength. When the transmitted lig

ht strikes a metal surface, a stream of electrons emerges from the metal. The interference filter is then replaced with one transmitting at 300 nm and the lamp adjusted so that the intensity of the light striking the surface is the same as it was for the 400-nm light. With the 300- nm light 1. more electrons are emitted in a given time interval. 2. the electrons which are emitted are more energetic 3. both are true. 4. both are false. Please choose from 1-4, explaining your answer.

Answer:

3. both are true.

Explanation:

Energy increses with decrease in wavelenght.

For photoemission to occur, a threshold energy barrier must be broken.

Higher energy means more electrons will be emmited.

The electrons emmited will posses energy that is less than the incident energy by the value of the threshold energy.

So the higher the energy, the higher the energy possessed by the electrons.

Answer:

3. Both are true

Explanation:

This is because the number of electrons emitted and their energy does not depend on intensity but on the wavelength. From K.E = hc/λ - Φ where λ = wavelength, Φ = work function and hc/λ = energy of the incoming light

Electrons are emitted when hc/λ > Φ. Since the energy of the incoming light is inversely proportional to its wavelength, for the 300 nm light, there is more energy and thus the difference hc/λ - Φ is more than that of the 400 nm light thereby releasing more electrons.

Also, since the difference hc/λ - Φ is more than that of the 400 nm light the kinetic energy K.E of the electrons is also more in this instant. So the electrons emitted are more energetic.

A bat emitts a sonar sound wave (343 m/s) that bounces off a mosquito 8.42 m away
Varvara68 [4.7K]

The time lapse between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Velocity of sound (v) = 343 m/s

Distance (x) = 8.42 m

Time (t) =?

We can obtain obtained the time as illustrated below:

v = 2x / t

343 = 2 × 8.42 / t

343 = 16.84 / t

Cross multiply

343 ×  t = 16.84

Divide both side by 343

t = 16.84/343

t = 0.05 s

Thus, the time between  when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.

<h3>How does a bat know how far away something is?</h3>

A bat emits a sound wave and carefully listens to the echoes that return to it. The returning information is processed by the bat's brain in the same way that we processed our shouting sound with a stopwatch and calculator. The bat's brain determines the distance of an object by measuring how long it takes for a noise to return.
