Answer:

light slower in water than in Air

Explanation:

Air's refractive index is about 1.0003, while water's is about 1.3. This means that light is “slower” in water than air. This is because it's more likely to hit a molecule and then get re-emitted, lengthening the amount of time the light takes to get through a certain distance of the medium.

What is the maximum wavelength of incident light that can produce photoelectrons from silver? The work function for silver is Φ=
zalisa [80]

Answer:

4.24nm

0.385eV

Explanation:

Maximum wavelength (λmax) :

λmax = ( hc) /Φ

h = plancks constant = 6.63 * 10^-34

c = speed of light = 3*10^8

1ev = 1.6 * 10^-19

Φ = 2.93eV = 2.93* (1.6*10^-19) = 4.688*10^-19

λmax = [(6.63 * 10^-34) * (3 * 10^8)] / 4.688*10^-19

λmax = 19.89 * 10^-26 / 4.688*10^-19

λmax = 4.242 * 10^-7 m

λmax= 4.24nm

B.)

E = hc / eλ eV

λ = 3.75nm = 3.75 * 10^-7m = 375 *10^-9

E = (6.63 * 10^-34) * (3 * 10^8) / (1.6 * 10^-19) * (375 * 10^-9)

E = 19.89 * 10^-26 / 600 * 10^-28

E = 0.03315 * 10^-26 + 28

E = 0.03315 * 10^2

E = 3.315 eV

Stopping potential : (3.315 eV - 2.93eV) = 0.385eV

A 4.4 kg marble (really big heavy marble) is accelerating down an incline. When it reaches level ground it slows down to a stop
KengaRu [80]

#A

Mass=4.4kg

acceleration=-1.74m/s^2

Use newtons second law

\\ \rm\longmapsto Force=ma

\\ \rm\longmapsto Force=4.4(-1.74)

\\ \rm\longmapsto Force=-7.656N

#B

initial velocity=u

Final velocity=v=0

Acceleration=a=-1.74m/s^2

Time=t=1.27s

\\ \rm\longmapsto a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \rm\longmapsto u=v-at

\\ \rm\longmapsto u=0-(-1.74)(1.27)

\\ \rm\longmapsto u=1.74(1.27)

\\ \rm\longmapsto u=2.2m/s
