Evidence of wave theory light​

stira [4]4 years ago

All of these things were seen in formal experiments by the 19th century. But some of them are easy to see in your own home. It's obvious that light can reflect - you just have to look in a mirror. Light bounces off the mirror and goes into your eye so you can see yourself. It's also obvious that light can refract: All you have to do is put a spoon in a large glass of water and watch how the spoon appears to bend.

That happens because the light is bending as it moves between air and water. Both of these things can be seen even more clearly in a laboratory using beams of light or lasers.

A worker uses a cart to move a load of bricks weighing 680 N a distance of 10 m across a parking lot.
NNADVOKAT [17]
When you are finding work, the easiest way is to use the formula.

W = F*D

Where F is the force and D is the distance. Simply take the constant force of 209N and multiply it by the distance of 10m. Which will give you 2090J

Fofino [41]

Answer:

5.04\cdot 10^8 A

Explanation:

The work function of the metal corresponds to the minimum energy needed to extract a photoelectron from the metal. In this case, it is:

\phi = 3.950\cdot 10^{-19}J

So, the energy of the incoming photon hitting on the metal must be at least equal to this value.

The energy of a photon is given by

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck's constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the photon

Using E=\phi and solving for \lambda, we find the maximum wavelength of the radiation that will eject electrons from the metal:

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{3.950\cdot 10^{-19} J}=5.04\cdot 10^{-7}m

And since

1 angstrom = 10^{-15}m

The wavelength in angstroms is

\lambda=\frac{5.04\cdot 10^{-7} m}{10^{-15} m/A}=5.04\cdot 10^8 A
