Which other type of electromagnetic wave will strip away electrons from the zinc plate? And why?

2 answers:

8 0

In short, when light illuminates a piece of metal, the light kicks off electrons from the metal’s surface and these electrons can be detected as a change in the electric charge of the metal or as an electric current. Hence the name: photo for light and electric for the current. The explanation behind this simple phenomenon opened the door to revolutionary modern physics concepts regarding the composition of light, quantum mechanics, and what is now referred to as the “wave-particle duality” of nature. The wave-particle duality of nature is perhaps one of the greatest mysteries of our universe and a very interesting philosophical subject! Your goal in this lab is to reproduce the photoelectric effect for yourselves and to understand how it demonstrates the particle behavior of light.

What effect does Earth’s spherical shape have on the amount of sunlight that reaches the equator?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Because the Earth is a sphere, the surface gets much more intense sunlight, hence heat, at the equatorthan at the poles.

Definition of AM and Fm Wave? in your own word

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

In AM broadcasting, the amplitude of the carrier wave is modulated to encode the original sound. In FM broadcasting, the frequency of the carrier wave is modulated to encode the sound. A radio receiver extracts the original program sound from the modulated radio signal and reproduces the sound in a loudspeaker.

A 50-g cube of ice, initially at 0.0°C, is dropped into 200 g of water in an 80-g aluminum container, both initially at 30°C.

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

b. 9.5°C

Explanation:

$m_i$ = Mass of ice = 50 g

$T_i$ = Initial temperature of water and Aluminum = 30°C

$L_f$ = Latent heat of fusion = $3.33\times 10^5\ J/kg^{\circ}C$

$m_w$ = Mass of water = 200 g

$c_w$ = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg⋅°C

$m_{Al}$ = Mass of Aluminum = 80 g

$c_{Al}$ = Specific heat of Aluminum = 900 J/kg⋅°C

The equation of the system's heat exchange is given by

$m_i(L_f+c_wT)+m_wc_w(T-T_i)+m_{Al}c_{Al}=0\\\Rightarrow 0.05\times (3.33\times 10^5+4186\times T)+0.2\times 4186(T-30)+0.08\times 900(T-30)=0\\\Rightarrow 1118.5T-10626=0\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{10626}{1118.5}\\\Rightarrow T=9.50022\ ^{\circ}C$

The final equilibrium temperature is 9.50022°C

Four different resistors have various amounts of electric current flowing through them. Given the values of current I and resist

Artemon [7]

You did not provide the options. However, the options are

I = 6.0, R= 4.0 ohms

I = 9.0, R= 2.0ohms

I = 3.0, R= 2.0ohms

I = 8.0, R= 8.0 ohms

Answer:

The order of the resistors from the highest to the lowest is:

I = 8.0, R= 8.0 ohms

I = 6.0, R= 4.0 ohms

I = 9.0, R= 2.0ohms

I = 3.0, R= 2.0 ohms

Explanation:

ohm's law states that voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it. V = IR

Based on this formula, the voltages in each of the resistors are calculated below from the highest to the lowest

For I = 8.0, R= 8.0 ohms

V = 8 * 8 =64 volts

For I = 6.0, R= 4.0 ohms

V = 6 * 4 =24 volts

For I = 9.0, R= 2.0 ohms

V = 9 * 2 =18 volts

For I = 3.0, R= 2.0 ohms

V = 3 * 2 =6 volts

A car advertisement states that a certain car can accelerate from rest to

kaheart [24]

Answer:

a = 2.22 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

First we have to convert from kilometers per hour to meters per second

$40 [\frac{km}{h}]*[\frac{1h}{3600s}]*[\frac{1000m}{1km}] = 11.11 [m/s]$

We have to use the following kinematics equation:

$v_{f}= v_{i}+(a*t)$

where:

Vf = final velocity = 11.11 [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 0

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

t = time = 5 [s]

The initial speed is taken as zero, as the car starts from zero.

11.11 = 0 + (a*5)

a = 2.22 [m/s^2]
