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.

If you're trying to sum it up, it would be 140 degrees c*, otherwise it would probably be 80 degrees c since its more hotter than 60 degrees

Describe how the student should measure the time taken for the toy parachute to
PolarNik [594]

The time must be measured with respect to gravity. As it falls, it has free fall that is the force acting on it will be the gravity.With the distance in account, d = 1/2 gt²

t = √(2d/g)

A block is balanced on top of a frictionless sphere of radius R. When the block is given a slight nudge it starts to slide down
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:\frac{R}{3}

Explanation:

Given

Sphere of Radius R

Suppose mass of block is m

At any instant \theta Normal reaction(N) and weight(mg) is acting such that

mg\sin \theta -N=\frac{mv^2}{R}  , where v is velocity of block at any angle \theta

When block is just about to leave then N=0

therefore

mg\sin \theta =\frac{mv^2}{R}

v^2=gR\sin \theta-------------------1

Also by conserving Energy we get

Potential Energy=kinetic Energy of block

mgh=\frac{mv^2}{2}

here h=vertical distance traveled by block

From diagram

h=R-R\sin \theta

h=R(1-\sin \theta )

mgR(1-\sin \theta )=\frac{mv^2}{2}

2gR(1-\sin \theta )=v^2-----------------2

From 1 and  2

2(1-\sin \theta )=\sin \theta

3\sin \theta =2

\sin \theta =\frac{2}{3}

Thus from this value of h is

h=R(1-\sin \theta )

h=R(1-\frac{2}{3})

h=\frac{R}{3}

A football player kicks a 0.94 kg football with a force of 2.4 N.
Artyom0805 [142]

2.6m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of football = 0.94kg

Force on ball = 2.4N

Unknown:

The acceleration of the ball = ?

Solution:

According to Newton's second law of motion "the net force on a body is the product of its mass and acceleration".

  Net force = mass x acceleration

Make acceleration the subject of the expression;

       Acceleration = \frac{net force}{mass}

Acceleration  = \frac{2.4}{0.94}  =  2.6m/s²
