Answer:

A) Thermal and Radiant

Explanation:

When candle is burnt then the energy that is released in the form of light as well as in the form of thermal energy.

Here the candle is formed by wax which is melted due to due to burning and this will convert the energy present in the form of chemical energy into thermal energy as well as in the form of radiant energy.

Thermal energy will increase the temperature of surrounding air while radiant energy is in the form of light which is an electromagnetic wave.

So correct answer will be

A) Thermal and Radiant

The maximum wavelength that an electromagnetic wave can have and still eject electrons from a metal surface is 542 nm. What is t

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

2.295 eV

Explanation:

maximum wavelength, λ = 542 nm = 542 x 10^-9 m

The work function of the metal is defined as the minimum amount of energy falling on the metal so that the photo electrons just ejects the surface of metal.

$W_{o}=\frac{hc}{\lambda }$

where, h is the Plank's constant and c be the speed of light

h = 6.634 x 10^-34 Js

c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

$W_{o}=\frac{6.634\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{542\times10^{-9} }$

$W_{o}=3.67\times 10^{-19} J=\frac{3.67\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}} eV$

Wo = 2.295 eV

Thus, the work function of this metal is 2.295 eV.
