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.

An ambulance is driving towards the hospital at a velocity 108 km/h and emitting a steady 798-Hz sound from its siren. The sound
slava [35]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is a physical phenomenon where an apparent change in wave frequency is presented by a sound source with respect to its observer when that same source is in motion. Mathematically it can be described as

f_d= f_s \frac{(v+v_d)}{(v-v_s)}

The meaning of each of these variables is,

v_d=Velocity of detector

f_s=Frequency of wave emitted by source

v_s=Velocity of source

v=Velocity of sound wave

f_d=Frequency received by detector

Replacing we have that,

f_d = 798(\frac{(343+30)}{(343-30)})

f_d=950 Hz

Therefore the correct option is e. 950Hz

The triceps muscle in the back of the upper arm extends the forearm. This muscle in a professional boxer exerts a force of 2615
mart [117]

Answer:

0.68 kg-m²

Explanation:

F = Force applied by the muscle = 2615 N

r = effective perpendicular lever arm = 2.85 cm = 0.0285 m

α = Angular acceleration of the forearm = 110.0 rad/s²

I  = moment of inertia of the boxer's forearm = ?

Torque is given as

τ = I α                                   eq-1

Torque is also given as

τ = r F                                   eq-2

using eq-1 and eq-2

r F =  I α

(0.0285)(2615) = (110.0) I

I = 0.68 kg-m²

A 13.4-mH inductor carries a current i = <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=I_%7Bmax%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="I_{max}" alt="I_
Digiron [165]

The voltage across an inductor ' L ' is

V = L · dI/dt .

I(t) = I(max) sin(ωt)

dI/dt = I(max) ω cos(ωt)

V = L · ω · I(max) cos(ωt)

L = 1.34 x 10⁻² H

ω = 2π · 60 = 377 /sec

I(max) = 4.80 A

V = L · ω · I(max) cos(ωt)

V = (1.34 x 10⁻² H) · (377 / sec) · (4.8 A) · cos(377 t)

<em>V = 24.25 cos(377 t)</em>

V is an AC voltage with peak value of 24.25 volts and frequency = 60 Hz.
