Why does light of a certain frequency need to be used to produce a current in the photoelectric effect?

1 answer:

3 0

The reason to why does light of a certain frequency need to be used to produce a current in the photoelectric effect is A. The frequency of light must be the same as the frequency of vibration of the atoms in the substance to cause a current.

Three charged particles are positioned in the xy plane: a 50-nC charge at y = 6 m on the y axis, a –80-nC charge at x = –4 m on

leva [86]

Answer:48 V

Explanation:

Given

Three charged particle with charge

$q_1=50\ nC at y=6\ m$

$q_2=-80\ nC at x=-4\ m$

$q_3=70\ nC at y=-6\ m$

Electric Potential is given by

$V=\frac{kQ}{r}$

Distance of $q_1$ from $x=8\ m$

$d_1=\sqrt{6^2+8^2}$

$d_1=\sqrt{36+64}$

$d_1=10\ m$

similarly $d_2=8-(-4)$

$d_2=12\ m$

$d_3=\sqrt{(-6)^2+8^2}$

$d_3=\sqrt{36+64}$

$d_3=10\ m$

Potential at $x=8\ m$ is

$V_{net}=\frac{kq_1}{d_1}+\frac{kq_2}{d_2}+\frac{kq_3}{d_3}$

$V_{net}=k[\frac{q_1}{d_1}+\frac{q_2}{d_2}+\frac{q_3}{d_3}]$

$V_{net}=9\times 10^9[\frac{50}{10}-\frac{80}{12}+\frac{70}{10}]\times 10^{-9}$

$V_{net}=9\times 5.33$

$V_{net}=47.97\approx 48\ V$

a professional baseball player can pitch a baseball with a velocity of 44.7m/s towards home plate. If a baseball weighs 1.4 N, h

kumpel [21]

1.4 N is a weight so calculating it's mass
1.4/9.8 = 0.1428 kg
momentum will be 0.1428*44.7 = 6.38 kgm/s

When numbers are very small or very large, it is convenient to either express the value in scientific notation and/or by using a

Oxana [17]

Answer:

5 mg, $5\cdot 10^{-3}g$

Explanation:

First of all, let's rewrite the mass in grams using scientific notation.

we have:

m = 0.005 g

To rewrite it in scientific notation, we must count by how many digits we have to move the dot on the right - in this case three. So in scientific notation is

$m=5\cdot 10^{-3}g$

If we want to convert into milligrams, we must remind that

1 g = 1000 mg

So we can use the proportion

$1 g : 1000 mg = 0.005 g : x$

and we find

$x=\frac{(1000 mg)(0.005 g)}{1 g}=5 mg$
