Answer:

A. K = 0.546 eV

B. cooper and iron will not emit electrons

Explanation:

A. This is a problem about photoelectric effect. Then you have the following equation:

K=h\nu-\Phi=h\frac{c}{\lambda} -\Phi   (1)

K: kinetic energy of the ejected electron

Ф: Work function of the metal = 2.48eV

h: Planck constant = 4.136*10^{-15} eV.s

λ: wavelength of light = 410nm - 750nm

c: speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s

As you can see in the equation (1), higher the wavelength, lower the kinetic energy. Then, the maximum kinetic energy is obtained with the lower wavelength (410nm). Thus, you replace the values of all variables :

K=(4.136*10^{-15}eV)\frac{3*10^8m/s}{410*10^{-9}m}-2.48eV\\\\K=0.546eV

B. First you calculate the energy of the photon with wavelengths of 410nm and 750nm

E_1=(4.136*10^{-15}eV)\frac{3*10^{8}m/s}{410*10^{-9}m}=3.02eV\\\\E_2=(4.13610^{-15}eV)\frac{3*10^{8}m/s}{750*10^{-9}m}=1.6544eV

You compare the energies E1 and E2 with the work functions of the metals and you can conclude:

sodium = 2.3eV < E1

cesium = 2.1 eV < E1

cooper = 4.7eV > E1 (this metal will not emit electrons)

iron = 4.5eV > E1 (this metal will not emit electrons)

When light passes through sequential interfaces, there may be a change of phase upon reflection at each interface.
Lena [83]

That's true.

I have a hunch that there definitely IS a change of phase at every reflection.

enot [183]

Answer:

0.5747 or 57.4%

Explanation:

Your question is not complete so i will assume the right question goes thus;

A Carnot engine extracts 529 J of heat from a high-temperature reservoir during each cycle, and rejects 225 J of heat to a low-temperature reservoir during  the same cycle.  What is the efficiency of the engine?

Efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by [(Th-Tc) / Th]

using the formula above, the resulting equation will give us; (529-225)/529

=0.574669
