Answer:

Wavelength

Explanation:

A wave in general, is a disturbance that travels through a point in space. It is composed of a series of alternating peaks and valleys.

Peaks are points along the wave, where its amplitude or displacement from the rest position is maximum in a positive upward direction. These peaks are also referred to as 'crests'. Valleys or 'troughs' are points with maximum displacement in the negative downward direction.

In a water wave (or waves in general), the distance between two crests or peaks is referred to as the wavelength represented by the greek symbol, λ.

5. A beam of photons with a minimum energy of 222 kJ/mol can eject electrons from a potassium surface. Estimate the range of wav
torisob [31]

Answer: The range of wavelengths of light that can be used to cause given phenomenon is 8.953 \times 10^{21} m.

Explanation:

Given: 222 kJ/mol (1 kJ = 1000 J) = 222000 J

Formula used is as follows.

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy

h = Planck's constant = 6.625 \times 10^{-25} Js

c = speed of light = 3 \times 10^{8} m/s

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\222000 J = \frac{6.625  \times 10^{-34}Js \times 3 \times 10^{8} m/s}{\lambda}\\\lambda = 8.953 \times 10^{21} m

Thus, we can conclude that the range of wavelengths of light that can be used to cause given phenomenon is 8.953 \times 10^{21} m.

Given the number of a substance , how do you solve for the number of a moles of a substance
chubhunter [2.5K]
Given the number of a substance, we can solve the number of moles by using a conversion factor that would relate the number of a substance to the number of moles. In any case, Avogadro's number would be used. It <span>represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles. For example, we are given 1.23 x 10^24 atoms of a substance converting it to moles we do as follows:

 </span>1.23 x 10^24 atoms ( 1 mol / 6.022x10^23 atoms ) = 2.04 moles
